Storage: File Management
Got avatars or images to store? The Storage section manages file buckets, where you upload files and set RLS policies for access control.
Edge Functions: Serverless Backend
Edge Functions run your custom server-side logic in a serverless environment near your users. Deploy, manage, and monitor them right here.
