4 sources> I'm pretty sure Supabase is using Deno Deploy/Subhosting.
We self-host the Edge Runtime now:

we needed this to get feature parity across local, the platform, and self-hosting

Hi Mark, hosted Supabase Edge Functions would still run on Deno Deploy, so those limitations would still exist. However, we plan to introduce file system access via integration with Supabase Storage. This is still a rough idea stage, maybe we'll have a solid answer in a couple of months :)
For dynamic imports, we haven't looked into it since Supabase users haven't requested it. If you can open an issue on Edge Runtime repo [0] and explain how you intend to use them, we can probably work on a solution.
