I Just Found Out Vercel Has Postgres

I was today years old when I found out that Vercel has Postgres. I already deploy basically everything to Vercel, so the idea of having the database living in the same place I push my code to is very tempting, and I wanted to see how it plays with Prisma.

The appeal is mostly about removing moving parts. Right now my apps are deployed on Vercel, but the database is somewhere else entirely, which means another dashboard, another set of credentials, another thing to think about. If the database can sit right next to the app, that's one less context switch when I'm trying to ship something in a single evening.

The one thing I'm keeping an eye on is the serverless side of it. Serverless Postgres and traditional connection-based ORMs don't always get along, since every function spinning up wants its own connection. Vercel's setup is built with that in mind, but it's the part I want to actually test under a bit of load before I move anything important over.

So that's the plan: take one of my smaller projects and migrate it over as a trial run. Worst case I learn where the rough edges are. Best case I get to delete a whole separate database service from my mental overhead.
