A traffic move protects future writes but commits the customer before the cause is proven.
The customer’s risk leaders want certainty on data integrity while engineering wants evidence before abandoning the hosted path.
Who you’d be doing this for
“Finance found 41 records that don’t match the application status, and I have to tell them whether we can keep taking writes.”
Vassilis Pellegrini · Director of Backend Engineering
Leads the team accountable for transaction processing in a regulated customer application.
What is at stake
Forty-one transactions show conflicting status after a PostgreSQL minor-version change. You must weigh an irreversible traffic move against the cost of accepting another unverified write.
Why it isn’t already fixed
Every obvious fix costs something else. That’s the part you’d have to decide.
- transaction continuity vs integrity certainty
- independent control vs operating-model disruption
- rapid decision vs verified causality
- customer confidence vs unsupported claims
Why Supabase
