We can look at offering an option to restrict edge functions to just launch in the same region as your database (probably can't call it "edge" at that point though). This might also be useful if you are processing data in your function that you do not want to leave a particular geographical region.

We are also exploring running Deno directly inside your database - https://github.com/supabase/postgres-deno

Just to double-up on Inian's comment - there is definitely a world where this happens, perhaps even inside the database itself (like plv8). We were focused on the Edge experience this time, but I'm excited about the future that an open-source TS runtime like Deno enables.

this was one of the main reasons we started supabase. we hope to make database development as easy as application development

Hey there are some migration tools that play nice with source control. For example, Flyway has repeatable migrations https://flywaydb.org/documentation/tutorials/repeatable, here's some links about this
