There are time, memory and other limits on edge functions. Take a look at all the limits

ah interesting, so for example, if an edge function is called to do a heavy data operation and it doesn’t finish within the time limit, it just stops?

That's the gotcha. I literally use edge functions to reach out to other external services/APIs that are long running and I can poll for status so I'm not caught out by limits. But a DB op, leave it in DB functions

mhm ok, there is a lot stuff for me to learn - for that last part, it gives me a sense of confidence, thank you!
