I’m using Next.js hosted on Vercel for production and running locally for development. My PostgreSQL database is hosted on NeonDB for production and in a local Docker container for dev. I’m also using DrizzleORM for ORM and Drizzle Kit for migrations.

I want to automatically run database migrations when deploying to Vercel, similar to a pre-build hook.

Is this possible to do?
