4 solutions to Vercel function timeouts

Vercel is a platform for developers creating globally distributed applications using React and the serverless approach. However, many users face limitations linked to the nature of serverless, as Vercel Functions are meant to serve direct user interactions or API calls and should be completed quickly. This article covers four solutions to solving Vercel Function timeout issues: 1. Bump your Vercel Function max duration by updating the vercel.json file. 2. Leverage Edge Function's infinite duration by transforming long-running code into a streamed response. 3. Move your code into a Durable Function, which enables running code asynchronously for extended periods. 4. Upgrade to a Vercel Pro or Enterprise plan to increase the default max duration and access additional features.
