Summary

Edge Functions now natively supports npm modules and Node built-in APIs, allowing users to host their functions anywhere, including self-hosting with Supabase Edge Runtime. This release improves the local development experience by serving all functions at once, enabling better Dev/Prod parity, and enforcing memory/duration limits. The Edge Runtime is a web server written in Rust that uses a custom Deno runtime, serving TypeScript, JavaScript, and WASM functions without changing any code. It also introduces features such as API Gateway to other Supabase services, scheduled functions, and custom global objects. The community is encouraged to contribute to the project and report issues on GitHub.
