Introducing zero-configuration Hono backends

Vercel now natively supports Hono, a fast, lightweight backend framework built on web standards, with zero-configuration. Unleash the power of Hono with full Node.js support.

import { Hono } from 'hono'

const app = new Hono()

app.get('/', (c) => {
  return c.text("Hello Hono!"))
})

export default app

With the code above, use Vercel CLI to develop and deploy your Hono application:

# Develop the application locally
vc dev

# Create a deployment
vc deploy

Backends on Vercel benefit from:

  • Fluid compute, with Active CPU pricing
  • Automatic cold-start optimizations
  • Background processing
  • Much more

You can deploy Hono on Vercel using our template or visit Hono’s Vercel documentation to learn more.
