Vercel Functions running on the Node.js runtime now support the `fetch` web handlers, improving interoperability across JavaScript runtimes and frameworks.

```tsx
export default {
  fetch(request: Request) { 
    return new Response('Hello from Vercel!');
  }
};
```

You can still [export individual HTTP methods](https://vercel.com/docs/functions/functions-api-reference?framework=other#function-signature), if preferred.
