Would it be possible to improve error handling for using edge runtime?

Goals

1. Specific error handling for unsupported apis in the edge runtime

Non-Goals

No response

Background

It is very clear in the docs that native node apis are not supported.

My issue was that I had been opted into the edge runtime via the project template I was working off of. Then when I went to add a client to connect to my db the production build broke. This was because that db client used native node apis under the hood.

I was not yet aware of the limitations or reasons for the edge runtime, so it was very non-obvious when just getting errors such as 'Module not found' (for native node libs) or then later 'failed to collect page data'.

Proposal

If it is possible/not too difficult, I believe it would be very valuable to detect if a particular usage of edge runtime is attempting to use native node libraries or other unsupported apis and throw a more specific error calling out that the current usage is not supported in the edge runtime.
