Express, a fast, unopinionated, minimalist web framework for Node.js, is now supported with zero-configuration.

app.ts
import express from 'express'
const app = express()
app.get('/', (req, res) => {
res.send('Hello World!')
})
export default app

A "Hello World" Express.js app on Vercel

Vercel's framework-defined infrastructure now recognizes and deeply understands Express applications. This update removes the need for redirects in vercel.json or using the /api folder.

Deploy Express on Vercel or visit the Express on Vercel documentation.
