Hey, thanks for sharing this on HN! I'm one of the Edge Functions developers at Supabase and co-author of the blog post. We are very excited about releasing npm support and looking forward to seeing how the community build awesome apps with the Supabase stack.<p>I am happy to answer any questions or receive feedback.
hey hn, supabase ceo here<p>this is the #1 feature request from our community wrt Edge Functions. Our Functions run Deno, and so a lot of developers struggle to migrate from Node. This update solves that. It was a lot of work - in the words of one of the developers: "the hardest thing I have implemented".<p>It's nice because it brings 100% feature parity across local dev, the platform, and self-hosting.<p>We also added a Sentry integration for observability and "Regional Invocations" for connecting to a Function in one particular region (useful if you want to execute a Function close to your database).<p>I'm just clocking off but the engineer who shipped this is waking up and will be around for any technical discussion.
Great, I paused my project just waiting on this issue<p>These last months open source has churned out several projects that are components to what I'm experimenting on and it feels great to be able to build on top of solid projects
I bet this is cool in some way, but old me can't help but compare this approach to the delightful horror story here from some decades ago...<p><a href="https://thedailywtf.com/articles/the-inner-json-effect" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://thedailywtf.com/articles/the-inner-json-effect</a>
I'm looking for compatibility tables/information, but can't find the right place to look.<p>Anyone have any idea how well Edge Functions for Javascript works with Edge's Javascript functions?
are supabase edge functions faster/better than Vercel edge functions<p>Vercel edge functions don't support node so it would be an overall win if the answer is yes.
