Introduction to Edge Functions
Understand the concept of serverless functions and how Supabase Edge Functions, built on Deno, enhance your backend capabilities.
Say Hello to Serverless!
Welcome to Supabase Edge Functions! Before we dive in, let's understand serverless functions. Traditionally, you'd manage servers to run your backend code.
With serverless, you write code, and a cloud provider handles all the server management for you. You just focus on your logic!
Why Go Serverless?
Serverless functions offer some powerful advantages:
- Automatic Scaling: They scale up or down instantly with demand.
- Pay-per-use: You only pay for the compute time your functions actually run.
- Reduced Ops: No servers to provision, patch, or maintain.
- Faster Development: Focus purely on writing your application logic.
