Hello. I have a Node.js app that is hosted on the Heroku platform. I want to migrate from Heroku to Vercel. I would appreciate if anyone could point me in the right direction.

just keep in mind that you might want to migrate to Next.js to get the most out of vercel platform such as Edge Runtime.

i think vercel only does serverless functions! So you won't be able to run a normal express server or something like that.

you can try railway.com or render.com!
?

Oh lol i didn't see your comment and only saw the OP's!
Is that like a serverless expressjs server?
Ie. they're spinning up/down an express server when the endpoint is hit
Vercel uses AWS lambda under the hood, where you can deploy a Rust executable. In fact, Vercel is now working on Python and Go runtimes in Serverless.
Plus Vercel has another environment called Edge Runtime, which use V8 isolate.
