I am trying to deploy my strapi application on vercel and it’s built successfully but showing a 404 error. I don’t know where the issue is.
Hi @des2nakulsoft1!
Would love to help support you here.
Have you checked out your build settings? It may be pointing to the wrong directory, perhaps?
its correct directory. i am deploying strapi application this CMS for node js and my database is MySql and the database is hosted in cloud.
Please let me know the solution.
Hey @des2nakulsoft1. Strapi doesn’t run well in serverless environments because it’s intended to run as an an always-on service. It’s better suited to a server where the process can stay running. I’m not saying it’s impossible with serverless, but there are some downsides that most people prefer not to deal with.
Instead, I recommend looking at the Strapi Next.js blog starter walkthrough explaining how to deploy the frontend to Vercel and the backend to Heroku. There’s also a more recent nextjs-corporate-starter monorepo with a frontend Next.js project and backend Strapi project that can be deployed separately but work together.
