Answer the questions below
1fill in blank
easy

Complete the code to select the best plan for cost savings.

Supabase
const plan = supabase.[1]('plans').select('*').eq('type', 'basic')
Drag options to blanks, or click blank then click option'
Aselect
Bupdate
Cinsert
Dfrom
Attempts:
3 left
💡 Hint
Common Mistakes
Using select instead of from causes an error because select is for columns.
Using insert or update is wrong because they modify data, not select.

Complete the code to filter cost optimization strategies by active status.

Supabase
const strategies = supabase.from('cost_strategies').select('*').[1]('status', 'active')
Drag options to blanks, or click blank then click option'
Aeq
Bneq
Cgt
Dlt
Attempts:
3 left
💡 Hint
Common Mistakes
Using neq would select rows not active, which is wrong here.
gt and lt are for greater or less than comparisons, not equality.

Fix the error in the code to update a strategy's budget limit.

Supabase
const { data, error } = await supabase.from('cost_strategies').[1]({ budget_limit: 1000 }).eq('id', 5)
Drag options to blanks, or click blank then click option'
Ainsert
Bupdate
Cselect
Ddelete
Attempts:
3 left
💡 Hint
Common Mistakes
Using select will not update data.
Insert adds new rows, not update existing ones.
Delete removes rows, not update.
4fill in blank

Fill both blanks to insert a new cost optimization strategy with a name and status.

Supabase
const { data, error } = await supabase.from('cost_strategies').[1]({ name: 'Auto Scaling', [2]: 'active' })
Drag options to blanks, or click blank then click option'
Ainsert
Bstatus
Cupdate
Dbudget_limit
Attempts:
3 left
💡 Hint
Common Mistakes
Using update instead of insert will not add a new row.
Using budget_limit instead of status changes the wrong field.
5fill in blank

Fill all three blanks to select strategies with budget limits greater than 500 and order by name ascending.

Supabase
const { data, error } = await supabase.from('cost_strategies').select('*').[1]('budget_limit', [2]).order('name', { ascending: [3] })
Drag options to blanks, or click blank then click option'
Aeq
Bgt
Ctrue
D500
Attempts:
3 left
💡 Hint
Common Mistakes
Using eq filters for exact match, not greater than.
Using false orders descending, not ascending.

1. What is the main goal of cost optimization in Supabase cloud services?
easy
A. To make the database larger
B. To increase the number of active users
C. To add more features to the application
D. To use cloud resources wisely and save money

Solution

  1. Step 1: Understand cost optimization meaning

    Cost optimization means using resources carefully to avoid waste and reduce expenses.
  2. Step 2: Identify the main goal in Supabase context

    In Supabase, cost optimization focuses on saving money by managing resources well.
  3. Final Answer:

    To use cloud resources wisely and save money -> Option D
  4. Quick Check:

    Cost optimization = saving money [OK]
Hint: Cost optimization means saving money by smart resource use [OK]
Common Mistakes:
  • Thinking cost optimization means adding features
  • Confusing cost optimization with user growth
  • Assuming bigger databases always mean optimization
2. Which Supabase plan feature helps reduce costs by charging only for what you use?
easy
A. Pay-as-you-go pricing model
B. Flat rate for unlimited API calls
C. Unlimited free storage
D. Fixed monthly fee regardless of usage

Solution

  1. Step 1: Identify pricing models in Supabase

    Supabase offers different plans; pay-as-you-go means you pay based on actual usage.
  2. Step 2: Match pricing model to cost reduction

    Pay-as-you-go helps reduce costs by avoiding fixed fees when usage is low.
  3. Final Answer:

    Pay-as-you-go pricing model -> Option A
  4. Quick Check:

    Pay-as-you-go = pay for usage only [OK]
Hint: Pay only for what you use with pay-as-you-go [OK]
Common Mistakes:
  • Choosing fixed monthly fee which can be costly
  • Assuming unlimited free storage is always free
  • Confusing flat rate with usage-based pricing
3. Given this Supabase usage scenario, which action will most reduce costs?
Current usage: 100GB storage, 1 million API calls daily
Options:
A) Upgrade to a higher fixed plan
B) Enable auto-scaling to adjust resources
C) Keep resources fixed regardless of usage
D) Add more database replicas
medium
A. Upgrade to a higher fixed plan
B. Enable auto-scaling to adjust resources
C. Keep resources fixed regardless of usage
D. Add more database replicas

Solution

  1. Step 1: Analyze current usage and options

    High API calls and storage suggest variable demand; fixed plans may waste money.
  2. Step 2: Evaluate cost-saving actions

    Auto-scaling adjusts resources to actual demand, avoiding overpaying for unused capacity.
  3. Final Answer:

    Enable auto-scaling to adjust resources -> Option B
  4. Quick Check:

    Auto-scaling saves cost by matching resources to usage [OK]
Hint: Auto-scale to pay only for what you need [OK]
Common Mistakes:
  • Choosing fixed plans that may be too expensive
  • Adding replicas increases cost, not reduces
  • Ignoring scaling options
4. You notice your Supabase project costs are rising unexpectedly. Which is the best first step to debug the cost increase? A) Immediately upgrade your plan B) Review usage metrics and logs C) Delete all database tables D) Disable all API endpoints
medium
A. Immediately upgrade your plan
B. Delete all database tables
C. Review usage metrics and logs
D. Disable all API endpoints

Solution

  1. Step 1: Understand cost rise causes

    Unexpected cost rises usually come from increased usage or misconfigurations.
  2. Step 2: Identify best debugging action

    Reviewing usage metrics and logs helps find what caused the increase before taking action.
  3. Final Answer:

    Review usage metrics and logs -> Option C
  4. Quick Check:

    Check usage first to find cost causes [OK]
Hint: Check usage logs before changing plans [OK]
Common Mistakes:
  • Upgrading plan without knowing cause
  • Deleting tables causes data loss
  • Disabling APIs disrupts service unnecessarily
5. You want to optimize costs for a Supabase project with fluctuating traffic and storage needs. Which combined strategy is best? A) Use a fixed high-tier plan and ignore usage B) Enable auto-scaling and regularly clean unused data C) Disable monitoring to save costs D) Add multiple database replicas for speed
hard
A. Enable auto-scaling and regularly clean unused data
B. Use a fixed high-tier plan and ignore usage
C. Disable monitoring to save costs
D. Add multiple database replicas for speed

Solution

  1. Step 1: Identify needs for fluctuating traffic and storage

    Fluctuating needs require flexible resource management and cleanup to avoid waste.
  2. Step 2: Choose combined strategies for cost optimization

    Auto-scaling adjusts resources to demand; cleaning unused data frees storage and reduces cost.
  3. Final Answer:

    Enable auto-scaling and regularly clean unused data -> Option A
  4. Quick Check:

    Scaling + cleanup = best cost optimization [OK]
Hint: Combine scaling with cleanup for best savings [OK]
Common Mistakes:
  • Ignoring usage fluctuations with fixed plans
  • Disabling monitoring hides cost issues
  • Adding replicas increases cost without saving
