Compatibility Checks Guide

Learn how to use DevRadar's compatibility data to validate your tech stack before building.

🔍 What Are Compatibility Checks?

DevRadar analyzes how different technologies work together. Just like PCPartPicker tells you if a CPU fits a motherboard, DevRadar tells you if Next.js works with Prisma, if Supabase supports Vercel Edge, and more.

📊 Compatibility Status Explained

Status	Meaning	Example
✅ Compatible	Works together without issues	Next.js + Prisma
⚠️ Partial	Works with limitations/workarounds	Supabase + Vercel Edge
❌ Incompatible	Fundamental conflicts prevent combined use	Prisma + Edge Runtime
⏸️ Deprecated	Previously worked, no longer supported	Old API versions

🔧 How to Read a Compatibility Report

Each compatibility page includes:

1. Status Badge - Quick visual indicator
2. Summary - Brief explanation of the compatibility
3. Known Issues - Specific problems to be aware of
4. Workarounds - Solutions for partial compatibility
5. Sources - Links to official documentation

Example Report Structure

Status: Partial ⚠️

Summary: Supabase works with Vercel Edge Functions, but the
JS client cannot run in Edge Runtime.

Known Issues:
- @supabase/supabase-js requires Node.js runtime
- Direct database connections not supported in Edge

Workarounds:
- Use @supabase/ssr for Server Components
- Create Supabase client in Edge Functions
- Use Supabase REST API from Edge

🎓 Common Compatibility Patterns

The "Edge" Consideration

Many databases don't support Edge Runtime:

Database	Edge Compatible	Alternative
Prisma	❌	Neon, Supabase Edge
MongoDB	❌ (Direct)	MongoDB Edge Function
Supabase	✅ (With @supabase/ssr)	-
PostgreSQL	✅ (Via connection)	Neon, Serverless

The "Server Actions" Pattern

Next.js 15 Server Actions require database client initialization:

// ✅ Correct for Server Actions
import { createClient } from '@supabase/supabase-js'

export async function myAction() {
  const supabase = createClient(...) // Initialize per request
  return await supabase.from('table').select()
}

💡 Pro Tips

1. Always check before building - Save hours of debugging
2. Read the workarounds - Partial compatibility often has solutions
3. Check version-specific issues - Major updates can change compatibility
4. Contribute back - Found something different? Report it!
