Why use Vercel Connect with Databox?
Credentials on demand
Request Databox credentials only when your application or agent needs them instead of copying secrets into application code.
Access for the right subject
Support both user-authorized and app-scoped Databox access from the same connection layer.
Centralized credential management
Manage Databox credentials in one place and retrieve them through a consistent runtime API.
Vercel-native controls
Bind connections to the projects and environments that need them while Vercel OIDC authenticates each runtime request.
