Transition to edge functions #8

Closed TudorZgimbau closed 1 year ago

TudorZgimbau commented 1 year ago

Asses whether we can use Vercel's edge functions and refactor the API to use them.

After a first look, it seems like multiple packages fail to run in the edge environment. Moving this to low priority since I believe the compatibility issues will be impossible to work around at the moment.

https://github.com/Bytecrowds/main/tree/Edge would make the authorize API route use the edge runtime. The others seem impossible to convert because of the dependencies.

IMO, this will be a downgrade in terms of performance: we wouldn't be able to reuse connections because "https" from Node is not supported and would require a global database for the edge route to make sense. All the other functions being located in FRA1, I believe this will slow down most of the API.

Closing until all dependencies add edge support.
