Why Supabase for this
The best source for a runbook is what the system actually does, not what someone remembers it doing eighteen months ago.
Supabase is strongest at production-grade auth and RLS without building them, on standard Postgres you can leave. For knowledge base automation that matters because the failure modes of this kind of system tend to cluster exactly there.
The honest trade-off: opinionated in ways that occasionally fight a complex custom auth model. We say that up front because a stack chosen for fashion rather than fit becomes someone's migration project two years later. We build the smallest thing that proves the case, put it in front of real users, and expand only what earns its keep.
Six weeks to something running in production, not six quarters to a strategy document.

Questions
Will it replace our technical writers?
No. It removes the drudgery of first drafts and staleness tracking so writers spend their time on structure, accuracy and the hard explanations.
How does it know when content is stale?
By watching the underlying systems and code for changes that contradict what a document asserts, then alerting the document's owner.
Can it work across languages?
Yes, with human review on each language version rather than publishing machine translation unchecked.
Alternatives for knowledge base automation
Same capability, different stack. Each page states its own trade-off.
