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
!
