## Optimize usage

- Only replicate tables you need to replicate
- If you no longer require replication, remove the pipeline through your [project's replication settings](https://supabase.com/dashboard/project/_/database/replication)
- Reduce the number of writes to your table
- Exclude columns you do not need from replication - Pipelines let you configure which columns to replicate
