Vibe Coding an Edge Function in 30 Seconds

In the following video I am "vibe coding" two edge functions in 1 minutes and 6 seconds. One edge function that integrates with an API and returns a random Chuck Norris joke, and another edge function that sends an email. I will be using our Hyperlambda Generator to generate the code, but I could just as well have manually written the code.

The point being that my production environment is also my development environment. This allows me to move faster and also reduces the time from where I identify a bug, to the time where I fix it. Since we know that the resources requirements needed to fix a bug is proportional to the time between creating a bug and identifying it, this reduces maintenance costs, because bugs are immediately caught from within production, and you can fix the bug from within the same environment, without having to go through pipelines or automated deployment workflows.

For smaller and medium sized projects, this development model can increase your initial velocity by orders of magnitudes. In addition, it reduces the cost to maintain said projects by the same amount. This allows you to deliver smaller projects at a fraction of the cost you'd normally have to pay if you were using traditional software development processes.

Since everything in a complex application should be divided up into several modules, by segregating different concepts, and grouping similar concepts, this allows you to also build "big projects" with an architecture similar to that which you'd typically use for a micro services solution - Without the added overhead of needing a message broker.

At AINIRO we're supporting and maintaining roughly 50 clients. Without this capability, we'd not have resources to serve more than 3 to 5. So for us, this has increased our technical capabilities by a multiplication factor of somewhere between 10 and 15, allowing us to serve more clients, faster, for the same amount of resources.
