Hey, thanks for sharing this on HN! I'm one of the Edge Functions developers at Supabase and co-author of the blog post. We are very excited about releasing npm support and looking forward to seeing how the community build awesome apps with the Supabase stack.

I am happy to answer any questions or receive feedback.

how deep does the support go? i.e. can we safely import from node platform builtins like `os` or are the same bundling gymnastics still required there? (fwiw this is one of the major issues with vercel's edge funcs)

Most builtin modules should work (except for things like `vm` which we cannot safely sandbox in edge runtime). Deno has a good guide on the compatibility of built-in modules https://docs.deno.com/runtime/manual/node/compatibility

You can do: ``` import os from "node:os" console.log(os.hostname()) ```

and it should just work both locally and when deployed. No extra steps needed.
