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.

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 đź‘Ś. 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.
