Edge Functions vs Dedicated Backend: how do you decide?

edge functions
Hi everyone 🙂

I’m building a product using Supabase Cloud and I’m trying to decide between using Supabase Edge Functions or a separate backend (Node/Nest API).

In which cases do you recommend Edge Functions, and when is it better to have a dedicated backend instead?

My use case includes things like emails, scheduled jobs, business rules and external integrations.

Thanks!
