Hey everyone, I have a personal website that I wish to add blogs too. It's a Next 14 app deployed on vercel. I want to keep things simple and host next + payload on the same server. What's the best way to go about that?
As per this demo, it doesn't seem I can use next 14 with payload yet: https://github.com/payloadcms/next-payload-demo
Is there another way or do I just downgrade to next 13?

You can't deploy Payload on Vercel (or apparently any other serverless environment). I've been banging my head on this for the last few weeks and multiple threads later the resolution is that it can't be done. https://discord.com/channels/967097582721572934/1204195203292991509
They (Payload) were going to offer a free tier for their Cloud hosting but they changed their minds - no free tier. Apparently the only way to deploy is to use a Node server for Payload and possibly Vercel or another hosting solution for Next.js
If you can wait a month or two there's talk they'll have Payload v3 out in Beta

Damn okay
Ig I’ll put it on an ec2 or something for the time being and keep the frontend separate

You can actually deploy payload in nextjs on vercel specifically next 13.5.6 works for me,but you have to setup storage,database and email by yourself.

@covert lake Did you get any errors within Payload after you deployed on Vercel? What DB are you using?
@covert lake Also did you deploy the ecommerce Payload app? Do you remember which repo you cloned from?

I tried updating my Next version to 13.5.6 and built locally successfully, but pushed to Github and rebuilt on Vercel and I still get the error
Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 404 ()

For personal sites Railway can be a good option for NodeJS. Could host both there and the database.

I’ve already got a db, that bit isn’t the issue. I just wanted to host the site + cms on the same vercel project/serverless deployment
I am considering hosting payload on fly.io tho
