Scrapping Data from Website with Supabase

Hey, so one of my prospects, dev, used Supabase with NextJS as their tech stack, for an app that is kind of like airplane price comparing, where it scrapes the data from different websites.

In this instance it would be from google store, shopify etc...

Now, I'm no back-end God but supabase is not built for this - or am I wrong?

Reason being is because edge functions have timeout, and plus, this is back-end heavy and having the code in nextjs doesn't seem like a good idea.

Laravel, AdonisJS, NestJS - proper back-end seems like the way to go.

What do ya'll think? Idealy want to send this over to the prospect as well, because they spent months building that app, and when I tested it it doesn't even work... and I think it might be because of the above 🤷‍♂️
