SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Choosing the right backend architecture on Vercel is difficult when you must decide between Functions, Services, containers, Workflow, Queues, and Marketplace databases without a clear decision framework. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Product Mapping: Maps workload types (HTTP APIs, WebSockets, background jobs, durable workflows, scheduled tasks) to the correct Vercel product. - Framework Guidance: Lists supported backend frameworks including Express, Fastify, Hono, NestJS, FastAPI, Flask, Django, and Go. - Database Selection: Recommends Marketplace storage integrations such as Neon, Supabase, Upstash, MongoDB Atlas, and Turso. - Use Case: When migrating an existing Express API with a Dockerfile and a Postgres database to Vercel, use this Skill to decide between container images on Functions versus a native runtime, and to pick a Marketplace Postgres provider. ## Quick Start Use the create-a-backend skill to plan the architecture for deploying my FastAPI service with a Postgres database on Vercel.

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I choose between Vercel Functions and Vercel Services for my backend?▼

Use Vercel Functions for standard request/response backends like HTTP APIs and webhooks. Use Vercel Services when a frontend and one or more backends should deploy together with shared routing, preview URLs, and rollbacks.

What backend frameworks does Vercel support?▼

Vercel supports Node.js frameworks including Express, Fastify, Hono, NestJS, Koa, and Elysia, plus Python frameworks FastAPI, Flask, and Django. Go is also supported as a Functions runtime, and Next.js Route Handlers fit backends within Next.js apps.

Can I deploy an existing Dockerfile as a backend on Vercel?▼

Yes, container images on Vercel Functions support existing Dockerfiles, custom runtimes, and system dependencies. They run as autoscaling, stateless Functions rather than always-on container hosts, and can be composed with Services.

When should I use Vercel Queues versus Vercel Workflow?▼

Use Vercel Queues for background jobs, buffering, fan-out, and direct message routing. Use Vercel Workflow for durable multi-step business logic that needs retries, sleeps, or external event handling.

How do I add a Postgres database to a Vercel backend?▼

Provision Postgres through Vercel Marketplace integrations such as Neon, Supabase, or Prisma so credentials are injected into the project automatically. Keep the database close to the Functions region and use a serverless-compatible connection pool.
