Swift support for edge functions

[MadeByDouglas]

So it would be pretty great if a variant of edge functions were powered by AWS Lambda, enabling native swift on the server. In fact, collaborating with or leveraging the tools here would be really neat https://github.com/swift-cloud/swift-cloud
@grdsdev what do you think?

Hey @MadeByDouglas this is theoretically possible since edge functions can run wasm modules and we can use https://github.com/swiftwasm but not sure how hard would it be to achieve it, tagging @laktek for discussing this.

We have a guide on how to use WASM modules with Edge Functions https://supabase.com/docs/guides/functions/wasm. If you can compile your Swift code to wasm, you should be able to run it similarly.

that is great, and I will def check it out since swift does compile to wasm, but having native support would be better for performance. Also there is a magic to having "one click button" instead of a guide to follow to get these things working, like I'd love to just write swift, push to supabase, and not think about it. I think the swift and supabase community could really benefit from a deeper collaboration here.

I would love to see this feature if possible, for performance reasons in our iOS app.
