Supabase Integration Playbook for VibeDBTool

VibeDBTool Team

Connecting VibeDBTool to Supabase takes minutes, but doing it well requires a repeatable playbook. Whether you are a solo founder or running a platform team, this checklist keeps your integration predictably secure.

1. Prepare Supabase roles

Before you paste any keys into VibeDBTool, define the service roles you will expose:

  • Service role (primary): used for schema discovery, view generation, and guarded mutations.
  • Read-only role: optional, for mirror dashboards or analytics.
  • Automation role: if you plan to run scheduled jobs from VibeDBTool (e.g., nightly reconciliations).

Restrict each role with RLS policies and limit their access to only the schemas your workspace needs. Supabase makes it easy to scope policies; pair it with VibeDBTool's guardrails for layered defense.

2. Store secrets in your vault

Never hardcode service keys in your deployment environment. Instead:

  1. Generate keys in Supabase.
  2. Store them in your secret manager (1Password, Vault, Doppler, etc.).
  3. Inject them into VibeDBTool through environment variables or secure admin forms.

VibeDBTool encrypts secrets at rest and rotates them when you trigger a refresh, but the initial vault source of truth remains the safest long-term home.

3. Run schema discovery

Once the connection is live, kick off schema discovery (see our AI-assisted guide). Review:

  • Entities and relationships the AI recommended.
  • Sensitive columns flagged for masking.
  • Suggested workspace navigation paths.

Accept or edit the plan, then publish it as your starting entity model. This gives a shared vocabulary for your team when building views or guardrails.

4. Seed sample views

Use VibeDBTool's view builder to create the initial dashboards. A common trio:

  1. Customer health: join users, subscriptions, and recent activity.
  2. Billing accuracy: reconcile invoices, payments, and fulfillment data.
  3. Support triage: surface open tickets, recent interactions, and risk scores.

Save each view as a template so new workspaces can reuse the structure.

5. Configure monitoring

Before inviting teammates, wire up observability:

  • Enable audit log streaming to your Slack #data-ops channel.
  • Schedule daily exports of guardrail violations.
  • Hook Prometheus/Grafana (or your preferred stack) to VibeDBTool's metrics endpoint.

That way, if something drifts, you see it before customers do.

6. Invite the team safely

Start with a narrow set of roles (maybe founders and RevOps). Give them guided tours of the views, approval flows, and fallback process if a guardrail rejects their mutation. Encourage them to submit "policy feedback" requests when something feels too strict or too lenient.

7. Plan your next iteration

After a week of real usage, revisit the integration:

  • Did RLS policies block legitimate actions?
  • Are there entities missing that would make navigation clearer?
  • Should you expose API endpoints for automations built on top of VibeDBTool?

An integration isn't finished after day one. Keep iterating with the team to ensure Supabase and VibeDBTool stay in lockstep as your product evolves.
