Hi,
I’ve installed the Payload website template, deployed it on Vercel, and connected it to the Supabase free tier. Everything is working fine, except for images on Vercel. I can’t upload them to the database, and they also don’t display properly. I’m getting 400 and 502 errors. Everything works fine locally.
What could be the issue, and how can I fix it?

Hey @inland gust
So you've built your app and have deployed it to Vercel, correct?
inland gust
Yes
livid spoke
Now when trying to view images you get errors
Which storage adapter are you using?
With Serverless, this is not unique to just Vercel but any serverless environment, their filesystem is ephemeral. This means that as soon as execution is stopped on that function that anything residing in the local filesystem will get wiped along with that function. You need a persistence layer to persist these uploads somewhere outside of the filesystem.
This is where storage adapters come in: https://payloadcms.com/docs/upload/storage-adapters

Can I use supabase bucket for this?
livid spoke
I think Supabase storage has an S3-compatible API, so you would use the S3 adapter - so yes, I think it would work.
inland gust
@livid spoke ok, i added s3 supabase bucket and it works for new images, for the old ones from the seed function should I reupload them?
inland gust
deploying rn, I thought s3 was optional
livid spoke
It is on something like a VPS, but for serverless there are other nuances as I mention above

Do I enable fluid compute on vercel for payload?
livid spoke
No need
I'm not 100% certain on how fluid works with Payload as of yet to be honest
But I don't see any reason why it wouldn't work

Ok, one more question, how to create localized route name eg. /en/about, /pl/o-nas for pages?
livid spoke
Many ways you could go about doing that! Have a look at the official localization example here: https://github.com/payloadcms/payload/tree/main/examples/localization

I upadated image on hero section on home page and it was saved ok but i dont see changes yet, website template has path revalidation?
livid spoke
Yeah, it may be cache. Just make sure you have the revalidation hook set from the example and it should update after saving.
livid spoke
Nice, glad we figured it out here!

but its weird that revalidatepath is not working correctly, i have fresh install of website template, whats the best db for payload?
livid spoke
revalidatePath should definitely work
There's no "best" db for Payload really, but if you're deploying to Vercel and you want to use PG, then you should use the "vercel-postgres" adapter
