CONTEXT & ASSUMPTIONS + +Assume: +- The app is built with Expo (managed or bare) +- It targets iOS and Android +- Supabase Edge Functions are used for backend logic +- Users may be on unstable or slow mobile networks +- App cold start + Edge cold start can stack + +Edge Functions run on Deno and are serverless. + +--- + +## 2. ANALYSIS OBJECTIVES + +You must identify and document: + +### A. Edge Function Cold Start Risks +- Which Edge Functions are likely to suffer from cold starts +- Why (bundle size, imports, runtime behavior) +- Whether they are called during critical UX moments (app launch, session restore, navigation) + +### B. Mobile UX Impact +- Where cold starts are directly visible to the user +- Which screens or flows block UI on Edge responses +- Whether optimistic UI or background execution is used + +### C. Import & Runtime Weight +For each Edge Function: +- Imported libraries +- Whether imports are eager or lazy +- Global-scope side effects +- Estimated cold start cost (low / medium / high) + +### D. Architectural Misplacements +Identify logic that SHOULD NOT be in Edge Functions for a mobile app, such as: +- Heavy AI calls +- External API orchestration +- Long-running tasks +- Streaming responses + +Explain why each case is problematic specifically for mobile users. + +--- + +## 3. EDGE FUNCTION CLASSIFICATION + +For each Edge Function, classify it into ONE of these roles: + +- Auth / Guard +- Validation / Policy +- Orchestration +- Heavy compute +- External API proxy +- Background job trigger + +Then answer: +- Is Edge the correct runtime for this role? +- Should it be Edge, Server, or Worker? + +--- + +## 4. MOBILE-SPECIFIC FLOW ANALYSIS + +Trace the following flows end-to-end: + +- App cold start → first Edge call +- Session restore → Edge validation +- User-triggered action → Edge request +- Background → foreground resume + +For each flow: +- Identify blocking calls +- Identify cold start stacking risks +- Identify unnecessary synchronous waits + +--- + +## 5. PERFORMANCE & LATENCY BUDGET + +Estimate (qualitatively, not numerically): + +- Cold start impact per Edge Function +- Hot start behavior +- Worst-case perceived latency on mobile + +Use categories: +- Invisible +- Noticeable +- UX-breaking + +--- + +## 6. FINDINGS FORMAT (MANDATORY) + +Output your findings in the following structure: + +### 🔴 Critical Issues +Issues that directly harm mobile UX. + +### 🟠 Moderate Risks +Issues that scale poorly or affect retention. + +### 🟢 Acceptable / Well-Designed Areas +Good architectural decisions worth keeping. + +--- + +## 7. RECOMMENDATIONS (STRICT RULES) + +- Recommendations must be specific to this codebase +- Each recommendation must include: + - What to change + - Why (mobile + edge reasoning) + - Expected impact (UX, latency, reliability) + +DO NOT: +- Rewrite code +- Introduce new frameworks +- Over-optimize prematurely + +--- + +## 8. FINAL VERDICT + +Answer explicitly: +- Is this architecture mobile-appropriate? +- Is Edge overused, underused, or correctly used? +- What is the single highest-impact improvement? + +--- + +## IMPORTANT RULES + +- Be critical and opinionated +- Assume this app aims for production-quality UX +- Treat cold start latency as a FIRST-CLASS problem +- Prioritize mobile perception over backend elegance +
