How long until we get functions running? Absolutely love the product btw, can't make the switch until we have functions tho :)

tbd on the timeline here - we know that there are already platforms (like Vercel, Netlify, Deno, CF Workers) doing amazing work here, so we're spending more effort on the under-served problems.

Would love to know your use-case, or why you'd prefer Supabase as a Function provider over one of the existing players? It's helpful for us to design the system around any weaknesses/difficulties you're facing

For me, the BaaS philosophy is to simplify development by using an "all-batteries-included" platform. I know some people use Supabase just for the free postgres or other things, but I don't like to use multiple providers for a single simple project. That's why it makes no sense to me currently to use Supabase until there is no functions.

makes sense, and seems to be the most common reason when we ask (along with using other/preferred languages). thanks for taking the time to share
