Vercel: Server Timed Out

#vercel #ssr #frontend

Got this screenshot in my DM as the frontend developer on a project,some certain pages are not loading.

Upon investigating I realized that if the page was refreshed it would come up.

Essentially the affected pages are server-side rendered, and a recent push to the endpoints that serve them is taking so long to run.

Vercel has limits on running functions, depending on the plan that you're in, the invocation would time out and return the page above.

The backend needs refactoring, but we needed to mitigate this.

Vercel has configurations to change some defaults. You can increase the maxDuration timeout depending on the plan that you are

Created/update a vercel.json file accordingly, perhaps, as seen above.

We were fine.
