Hi to get right to it. I am building a live document web app with Next.js and firebase/firestore as my database. When looking up how to do websockets on Next.js I saw some info about Vercel not supporting it in serverless functions. Also wondering what is counted as a serverless function? and is this doing websockets on Vercel even possible?

You dont do websocket with vercel hosting.
Its not possible.
Its possible within nextjs, but not while hosting on vercel
Somewhat defeats the purpose of a serverless environment
@Jboncz Its not possible.
