how to deploy on vercel, my config

{
  "version": 2,
  "builds": [
    {
      "src": "src/main.ts",
      "use": "@vercel/node"
    }
  ],
  "routes": [
    {
      "src": "/(.*)",
      "dest": "src/main.ts",
      "methods": ["GET", "POST", "PATCH", "DELETE"]
    }
  ]
}

but my code is on src -> res -> users
what should config do?

So, vercel's node server support is for severless environments.. Are you running NestJS as a severless approach?

[untold thicket]

just need to host my backend

[summer lintel]

Use a proper server solution, in my opinion. EC2, digital ocean, gcp, hetzner, heck a raspberry pi if you're not doing anything too crazy

[untold thicket]

no, I want to host my backend APIs to test the project

so vercel can't host right?

[summer lintel]

Okay? My statement stands. You want to host an API server? Use an actual server environment

[untold thicket]

like heroku

could you recommand for alternative heroku?

[summer lintel]

Vercel claims that it can do regular servers, but the example express app is incredibly basic and they don't go into detail (at least quickly) want using ts for the build

[summer lintel]

EC2, GCP, Digital Ocean, Hetzner, I've heard of people using Railway, and there are others out there.

I've personally got a side project on my raspberrypi and will probably migrate to hetzner when I need more power, but I don't really anticipate that ever happening

[untold thicket]

have you ever use render for backend APIs?

[summer lintel]

I have not, but it looks straightforward

[signal thunder]

I have used render - it's as straightforward as it gets (like heroku)

[untold thicket]

render I have problem with node version..

[summer lintel]

Well, what's the problem? we aren't mind readers...
