Why use Vercel Connect with PubNub?

  • Credentials on demand

    Request PubNub credentials only when your application or agent needs them instead of copying secrets into application code.

  • Access for the right subject

    Keep app-scoped PubNub access behind a reusable connector controlled by your team.

  • Centralized credential management

    Manage PubNub 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.

Use PubNub with your stack

Follow a complete setup for the Connect SDK or a supported agent framework.

Add PubNub to an existing Vercel application with the Connect SDK.

  1. Install the Connect SDK

  2. Create the PubNub connector

    vercel link
    vercel connect create pubnub --name acme-pubnub
    vercel env pull
