Where would those DBs be deployed? I mean, can vercel host DBs or do you still have to figure out a way of host them yourself?

- sdan 6y agoYeah, you'd have to host them yourself. So suppose you have a basic webapp with users logged in a DB: Vercel(Frontend -> Serverless functions) -> DB
- neurostimulant 6y agoYou're supposed to use other hosted database vendor or your own database server if you need it. I don't think they offer any database service.
- moeamaya 6y agoWhat’s the recommended DB host? Does the Next community have a go to?
- jpbow 6y agoI've had success with FaunaDB, simple and cheap to get started and you get a GraphQL endpoint as well as their query language (FQL).
- dkryptr 6y agoI don't think there's an official recommendation. Any database host will work just fine. However if you want to optimize based on location, here are the regions where Vercel hosts: https://vercel.com/docs/edge-network/regions#routing https://vercel.com/docs/edge-network/regions#routing. So hosting a database in AWS in any of those regions probably makes the most sense.
- sdan 6y agoI use Heroku; gets the job done and is simple.
- theturtletalks 6y agoI personally have Caprover running on a $5/month DigitalOcean droplet where I can create DBs on the fly for small projects. I normally switch to a better hosted platform for bigger projects. Heroku is also good but the free plan is 10,000 rows and the next plan is $9/m.
