Deploying a backend on Vercel (APIs and Functions) 

Let me know what else you'd like to see!

I second this

yeah i'd need this as well ! Deploying a complete API server (not serverless) on Vercel would be awesome

Is it even possible? As they said, on Pro subscription, they limit long running services to 5 minutes.

It's always hard to compete with Cloudflare on the pricing front. They own the network which can reduce the egress fee significantly. Vercel is mostly wrapping around the providers like AWS, Cloudflare to provide better DX. In any case, if you are using Vercel, you should think of it as outsourcing your DevOps/Platform team to them to provide a modernised DX that builds on top of serverless technology. It's essentially a DevOps or Platform Engineering as a service, and the price definitely will be higher than Cloudflare, it's still business profit in the picture despite the DX improvement.

Keep in mind Vercel is for serverless

Love this suggestion, can do.

@@leerob Thank you!

​@@oeuvars hey yo, hope it's ok to ask, what's the meaning of the symbol in your pic? Thx and all the best

@@fire17102 Hindu swastika, i understand the logic behind your question lol. And thank you.

no, I deployed my backend which is in express and socket io on vercel it was not working. After searching got to know it's not supported on vercel. So I looked for other alternatives.

they support php afaik

@@twitchizle I've reached their support and they replied that's possible if you convert them to JS using some tool! Oh C'mon!

@@aldoyh there should be php runtime support related text in the docs. Im 100% sure i saw it.

Please dear@@twitchizle .. Amaze me.

We support Python and Go as well.

Thank you, yeah would love to dig in and also get a better Hono example up!

Have you tried using "concurrently" pkg?

@@nikitaistomin3588 yes but didn't work well hhhhh or 8 did something wrong

Do you build with babel?

Deploying to a lot of modern clouds have this issue. Stuff just stops working without any stimulus

@@aberba No, I use the default TypeScript setup from Next.js
