07/30/2021, 5:01 PMThe functions here are essentially reusable queries that are stored in the database. Instead of having to run the same query over and over, you can call a function by its name, and pass it parameters.
It's really useful if you're working with the supabase front-end libraries (e.g. supabase-js)

This new functions feature in the dashboard allows you to write and manage those from the web
