api routes not working in production

Hi @indigo hemlock. I'm kapa.ai, your friendly support bot. I will try to answer your question by searching through the knowledge base. :wave:

Based on the provided extracts, I cannot pinpoint the exact issue with your serverless function. However, I can provide some general troubleshooting steps to help you identify the problem.

1. Check the application logs: You can find the application logs at the host URL under the /_logs path. For example:

https://my-deployment-my-username.vercel.app/_logs

Source: Vercel Application Error Codes (https://vercel.com/docs/errors/application-error-codes)

2. Ensure your dependencies are installed correctly and compatible with your Next.js version.

3. Make sure your serverless function is not reaching the timeout threshold (https://vercel.com/docs/concepts/limits/overview#serverless-function-execution-timeout) in production.

4. Customize the 500 page (https://nextjs.org/docs/pages/building-your-application/routing/custom-error#500-page) to provide a better user experience when an unhandled exception occurs.

5. Consider using an error tracking tool like Sentry to log and track exceptions. There's a Sentry integration for Vercel (https://vercel.com/integrations/sentry?utm_source=next-site&utm_medium=docs&utm_campaign=next-website) and a Next.js example with Sentry (https://github.com/vercel/next.js/tree/canary/examples/with-sentry).

If you still face issues, I recommend checking the official Next.js and Vercel documentation for more information.

Note: you can ask me a follow up question by @ mentioning me again :speech_balloon:
