Vercel - Deploy your Astro Site to Vercel | Docs

Easily deploy your Next.js app with Vercel by clicking the button below:

Vercel - Never used but and it seems very specific for Frontend developers.

Then test your Next.js application locally to verify everything works by running npm run build and if there are no errors, you can now deploy to Vercel. See the official Next.js guide to deploy your Next.js frontend to Vercel.

Supports deployment to Netlify, Vercel, and Cloudflare pages

Frontend: Developed with Remix, hosted on Vercel

Choosing Vercel was a natural decision as it has become the default method for launching apps that are accessible to a wide audience. The simplicity of configuring environment variables, domains, and other settings facilitated this choice. We have implemented feature branch deployment to guarantee that the code is operational and prepared for peer review.

Next, we'll deploy our ecommerce website to Vercel (which is a great choice to host your Next.js website). Other hosting options include Netlify and Render.

Our Node.js application will be a simple Express API server that functions like a Gemini chatbot. It will listen on two endpoints. First, a POST request to /chat (which will include a JSON payload with a message attribute) will send the message to Gemini and then return the response. Our application will keep a running chat conversation with Gemini. This turns our chatbot into a helpful assistant who can hold onto notes for us.

ExpressJs is a popular open-source web application framework for Node.js that is widely used to build web applications and APIs. It is known for its simplicity, flexibility, and performance, making it a popular choice for developers who need a lightweight and scalable framework for their projects.

Strapi provides a great content management system; we can easily pull in user-specific data, such as names or preferences, and inject them into our email templates to make them more engaging. Strapi is scalable and offers a user-friendly interface with built-in API capabilities, which will help streamline the development process and reduce the time and effort it would cost to build something similar with another framework such as express.js.

But what is a symbolic link exactly? It comes from programming and I often liken symbolic links to basic redirects but with greater stability. However, not every package needs a place in .bin. Packages like nodemon, webpack, gulp, eslint and create-vue are found in .bin because they need to be executed. On the other hand, packages like animate.css, swiper and express operate at the application layer, so you won't find them in .bin after installation. How does npm determine whether a package is executable or not? It's simple: by using the bin property in your package.json to specify the executable path. If your package is executable, you can set it accordingly. Let's take a look at prettier's package.json file

The Gen2 GCP cloud functions use ExpressJS on top of Cloud Run. ExpressJS comes with a development server. So, why not directly develop it locally in Express and then put it in a Dockerfile? Well, that's a lot of work, and you must be familiar with Docker and Cloud Run. GCP Cloud Functions gen2 abstracts many things for you.

Basic knowledge working with Express.js.
