Supabase says durable workflows previously lacked suitable compute because of the two-second function timeout, and its new compute capability now provides the primitive for long-running workflows.

“Okay, so what was missing for us to do durable workflows? Compute. Right. So you're, you're doing this now [chuckles] Yeah. Super interesting space to be in, I think. Like, yeah, now we have had people in the community try to build workflow engines on top of Supabase functions, and it just didn't work because of the two-second timeout. Yeah.”

“Now we've got the primitive that would unlock the ability to do long-running durable workflows. I think my original pitch for Supabase is, like, you want the sort of the all-in-one, the, the, the sort of- Yeah...”
