Deploying Node Js application with express framework in Supabase (Edge Functions)

Question

I developed a node Js application integrated with some services like database, authentication from Supabase, It works fine and gave success results in local development for each routes when called from Postman. Now I want to deploy this application to make rest APIs for frontend. Supabase provides edge-functions. In their documentation they told it is an alternative for firebase functions. But I can't able to find any documentation or blog regarding deployment of node Js application. Is there any way to deploy this application like firebase functions on edge functions of Supabase Any clarification related docs or alternative solutions would be helpful.

Answer 1

Supabase edge functions run Deno application at the moment, which is a bit different from a node.js application, so your node.js application will not deploy directly to Supabase edge functions. You would have to rewrite your code to make it compatible with a Deno application.

Luckily, since typescript, the language used in Deno functions is a superset of javascript, so you should be able to reuse a lot of the code during the rewrite!
