Okay, so this Supabase video is a game-changer for anyone diving into serverless functions. It basically shows you how to create, test, and even edit with AI your Supabase Edge Functions, all directly from their dashboard. No more complex CLI setups or wrestling with configurations – it’s all visual and streamlined. As someone who’s been trying to blend traditional PHP/Laravel with AI-assisted development, this hits the sweet spot.
Why’s it valuable? Because it drastically lowers the barrier to entry for using Edge Functions. Think about it: you could use this for things like image optimization on upload, real-time data transformations, or even custom authentication logic – all triggered at the edge, closer to the user. The AI editing feature is what really caught my eye. Imagine describing what you want the function to do, and the AI generates the code, then you fine tune from there. It can be like pair programming with an AI assistant.
For me, this is worth experimenting with because it aligns perfectly with automating repetitive tasks and boosting productivity. We can focus more on the business logic and less on the infrastructure plumbing. Plus, the fact that it’s all within the Supabase ecosystem makes it even more appealing. It makes me wonder how many custom PHP scripts I have running that could be streamlined using serverless functions edited by an AI, it would be a significant improvement.
