Supabase Edge Functions in AI answers

Supabase Edge Functions run server-side TypeScript functions at the edge, deployed globally via the Supabase runtime (Deno) for low-latency execution near users. They execute behind an edge gateway that handles authentication, routing and policy checks, allow you to access Supabase APIs (Auth, Postgres, Storage) or external services, and are intended for short-lived, stateless tasks with local development parity and simple deployment via Dashboard or CLI. They are ideal for low-latency HTTP endpoints, webhooks, on-demand image/Open Graph generation, small AI inferences, or bot integrations, with guidance to manage Postgres connections and to move long-running work to background workers.
