Vercel Functions
Pages Router
This is a quickstart for Vercel Serverless Functions. If you want to use Edge Runtime, Vercel recommends icrementally adopting the App Router.
Project Setup
Let’s create a new Next.js application with Pages Router and install @upstash/redis
package.
npx create-next-app@latest
cd my-app
npm install @upstash/redis
Database Setup
Create a Redis database using Upstash Console or Upstash CLI and copy the UPSTASH_REDIS_REST_URL
and UPSTASH_REDIS_REST_TOKEN
into your .env
file.
.env
UPSTASH_REDIS_REST_URL=<YOUR_URL>
UPSTASH_REDIS_REST_TOKEN=<YOUR_TOKEN>
Function Setup
Update /pages/api/hello.ts
:
/pages/api/hello.ts
import { Redis } from "@upstash/redis";
import type { NextApiRequest, NextApiResponse } from "next";
const redis = Redis.fromEnv();
export default async function handler(
req: NextApiRequest,
res: NextApiResponse,
) {
const count = await redis.incr("counter");
res.status(200).json({ count });
}
Run & Deploy
Run the app locally with npm run dev
, check http://localhost:3000/api/hello
Deploy your app with vercel
You can also integrate your Vercel projects with Upstash using Vercel Integration module. Check this article.
