Sean Oliver 4c77ab5fef feat(telemetry): mirror org_count to PostHog person property (#45946)
## I have read the
[CONTRIBUTING.md](https://github.com/supabase/supabase/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md)
file.

YES

## What kind of change does this PR introduce?

Feature + two follow-on fixes — small, scoped to telemetry / experiment
plumbing.

## What is the current behavior?

PostHog feature flags evaluated in Studio only have access to the
`gotrue_id` person property (set in `useTelemetryIdentify`) and the
`organization`/`project` group associations from pageviews. Flags can't
target users by org membership without a behavioral cohort, which
refreshes on a ~hourly schedule and lags behind real-time signup state.

This is blocking the rollout of the `dataApiRevokeOnCreateDefault`
experiment ahead of the May 30 default-privileges breaking change — we
need to target brand-new dashboard signups with no prior org membership,
and there's no person property to filter on.

## What is the new behavior?

Three changes, scoped tightly to make experiment targeting reliable for
brand-new signups:

### 1. Mirror `org_count` to a PostHog person property
(`apps/studio/lib/telemetry.tsx`)

The Studio `Telemetry` component now mirrors the user's current org-list
length to a PostHog person property `org_count` via
`posthog.identify(user.id, { org_count })`. The effect:

- Subscribes to `useOrganizationsQuery` (shares the same React Query
cache as `useSelectedOrganizationQuery`, so no extra network requests).
- Dedupes via a ref keyed on `{ userId, orgCount }` so we only call
identify when the value actually changes — handles user-switch
(logout/login as different user with same count) correctly.
- Generic enough to be useful beyond this experiment — analytics
segmentation by org membership, future flags that depend on multi-org
behavior, etc.

### 2. Merge pre-init identify properties
(`packages/common/posthog-client.ts`)

The previous `pendingIdentification` slot was a single-write buffer —
calling `posthogClient.identify()` before the PostHog SDK initialized
would overwrite any prior queued identify. Latent until this PR added a
second identify caller (`org_count`), which exposed the last-write-wins
behavior on first-visitor-before-consent flows. Now merges properties
across pre-init calls for the same user so both `{ gotrue_id }` and `{
org_count }` land on the person record when the SDK flushes. Caught
during Codex review.

### 3. Gate the exposure event on `org_count` being present
(`apps/studio/hooks/misc/useDataApiRevokeOnCreateDefault.ts`)

`useTrackDefaultPrivilegesExposure` previously fired on the first
non-undefined value of the `dataApiRevokeOnCreateDefault` flag. For
brand-new signups, this races the `org_count` identify: the initial
`/flags/` response (before targeting can match) returns the untargeted
variant, the exposure locks it in via `hasTracked`, then our identify
fires and a subsequent `/flags/` refresh updates the flag — but the
exposure has already recorded the wrong variant.

Fix: gate the exposure on `org_count` being present on the SDK person,
subscribing via `onFeatureFlags` so we pick up the post-identify
`/flags/` response. Adds `posthogClient.getPersonProperty` as the
local-state reader. Without this, the experiment would have a ~5-15%
noise floor on cohort assignment for new signups.

## Verification

End-to-end verified locally against the staging PostHog project (34343):

- Local Studio's PostHog SDK has `$stored_person_properties: {
gotrue_id: <uuid>, org_count: 1 }` after sign-in.
- Both `$set` events landed server-side within ~300ms of each other, and
the staging person record now shows `org_count = 1.0` with `gotrue_id`
preserved.
- Targeting query `person.properties.org_count == 1` works end-to-end
against staging.

## Additional context

Ref: [GROWTH-853](https://linear.app/supabase/issue/GROWTH-853)

Targeting plan for the flag once shipped: `person.org_count == 1` plus a
behavioral filter on recent `sign_up` event, at 5% rollout.

## Summary by CodeRabbit

* **Chores**
* Telemetry now records and syncs the user's organization count as an
analytics person property and avoids redundant identifications when
unchanged.
* Analytics client now merges queued identification properties made
before initialization and exposes a method to read stored person
properties.

* **Bug Fixes**
* Tracking now waits for organization-count readiness before firing
certain exposure events to prevent missing data.

* **Tests**
* Added/updated tests to cover person-property behavior and gating
logic.

Community & Support

  • Community Forum. Best for: help with building, discussion about database best practices.
  • GitHub Issues. Best for: bugs and errors you encounter using Supabase.
  • Email Support. Best for: problems with your database or infrastructure.
  • Discord. Best for: sharing your applications and hanging out with the community.

How it works

Supabase is a combination of open source tools. Were building the features of Firebase using enterprise-grade, open source products. If the tools and communities exist, with an MIT, Apache 2, or equivalent open license, we will use and support that tool. If the tool doesn't exist, we build and open source it ourselves. Supabase is not a 1-to-1 mapping of Firebase. Our aim is to give developers a Firebase-like developer experience using open source tools.

Architecture

Supabase is a hosted platform. You can sign up and start using Supabase without installing anything. You can also self-host and develop locally.

Architecture

  • Postgres is an object-relational database system with over 30 years of active development that has earned it a strong reputation for reliability, feature robustness, and performance.
  • Realtime is an Elixir server that allows you to listen to PostgreSQL inserts, updates, and deletes using websockets. Realtime polls Postgres' built-in replication functionality for database changes, converts changes to JSON, then broadcasts the JSON over websockets to authorized clients.
  • PostgREST is a web server that turns your PostgreSQL database directly into a RESTful API.
  • GoTrue is a JWT-based authentication API that simplifies user sign-ups, logins, and session management in your applications.
  • Storage a RESTful API for managing files in S3, with Postgres handling permissions.
  • pg_graphql a PostgreSQL extension that exposes a GraphQL API.
  • postgres-meta is a RESTful API for managing your Postgres, allowing you to fetch tables, add roles, and run queries, etc.
  • Kong is a cloud-native API gateway.

Client libraries

Our approach for client libraries is modular. Each sub-library is a standalone implementation for a single external system. This is one of the ways we support existing tools.
