After research how to deploy Express.js app to Vercel. Finally, I found and got have an application has deployed to Vercel. It's take a lot of time from me but I am happy and hope this article will help something to you.
I. First of all, creating new Github repository and init new project nodejs.
II. Creating new project in Vercel
III. Installing package express
to nodejs app.
IV. Creating and endpoint file index.js
in root source.
V. Creating APIs in ./api
folder or you can rename anything which you like.
- Here is an example for manage product from
./api/product
.
VI. Testing before commit source to Github.
- After testing is 👌. Commit them to git to see something awesome.
VII. Ready to serve in Vercel.
VIII. Something went wrong in Vercel.
- Because Vercel just supports API from Framework JS as NEXT.JS, Nuxt.JS,... So if we develop a standalone application we need to configure or tell the server of Vercel how is it work by vercel.json file.
IX. Add new vercel.json
file to root source.
- Commit it to GitHub and make sure
version
is2
- this is required from Vercel.
X. Done, enjoy your moment.
Thanks for reading.

this is awesome.. but when i try to build using express generator, it doesn't work, is there any help :(
Vercel is not supporting the Express Generator at the moment. Becasue it's attach to the pattern of serverless. Instead, you can use express traditional. Thanks.
Thanks!
So i created an api with express

Yes, you can.
Thanks!
Could you show us how to do this with Angular Universal or NestJS?
I will try it.
But how can I deploy a express - handlebars to vercel ? Here is my folder structure and vercel.json :

How about a full stack app where I use express on folder /server and react on /client ?
