Next.js is a popular framework for TypeScript developers that simplifies the development process by merging front-end and back-end tasks, but it poses challenges on serverless platforms due to the default 10-second duration limit for serverless functions. Developers often seek to extend these durations for tasks like integrations or AI workflows. To address these limitations, several solutions are proposed: increasing the Vercel Function's max duration to 60 seconds through the vercel.json file, utilizing Vercel's Fluid Compute for pooling resources, adopting Durable Functions for asynchronous execution, or upgrading to Vercel's Pro or Enterprise plans for extended timeouts. Each of these approaches offers a way to manage long-running processes more efficiently while maintaining the benefits of serverless architecture.
