Best for

▸Building real-time WebSocket APIs with integrated Supabase auth and RLS
▸Processing webhook events from third-party services with signature verification
▸Creating AI/LLM endpoints that stream responses with proper token management
▸Implementing cron-triggered background jobs using pg_cron integration
▸Building serverless API proxies that aggregate external service data

What you'll get

●Complete TypeScript function with import maps, CORS handling, JWT verification, database queries with RLS, and structured error responses
●Webhook processor with HMAC signature validation, idempotency handling, database updates, and real-time broadcast integration
●Streaming AI endpoint with token management, rate limiting, proper async/await patterns, and OpenAI SDK integration

Not designed for ↓

×Long-running processes over 150 seconds (use pg_net or external workers)
×Heavy computational tasks requiring more than 50MB memory
×Direct database administration or schema migrations
×Client-side JavaScript development or frontend frameworks

Expects

Clear function requirements including trigger type (HTTP/webhook/cron), authentication needs (user JWT vs service-role), and expected input/output formats with any third-party integrations.

Returns

Complete TypeScript edge function code with proper error handling, security validations, Supabase client integration, and deployment configuration files.
