Deploy your Express app to Vercel
Step-by-step deployment help for Express apps on Vercel. We fix Express-specific deployment issues, configure Vercel, and get your app live. From $19.
Express issues we fix before deploying
Common Express problems that affect Vercel deployments.
No helmet middleware for security headers
Express apps without the helmet middleware are missing critical security headers like Content-Security-Policy, X-Content-Type-Options, and HSTS, leaving the app vulnerable to common web attacks.
Missing input validation and sanitization
Request body, query params, and URL params used directly without validation. No express-validator, zod, or joi — enabling injection attacks and unexpected crashes.
Unstructured error handling
No global error-handling middleware. Errors either crash the process, leak stack traces to clients, or get silently swallowed with no logging.
CORS set to allow all origins
The cors() middleware called with no options, defaulting to allowing requests from any website — a security risk for APIs that handle user data.
Vercel deployment issues we check for
Common Vercel problems that break Express apps in production.
Serverless function size exceeds 50MB limit
AI tools bundle heavy dependencies into API routes without tree-shaking, pushing serverless functions past Vercel's 50MB compressed size limit and failing the build.
Edge runtime incompatible with Node.js APIs
Generated code uses fs, crypto, or other Node.js built-ins inside Edge Runtime routes, causing deployment failures since Edge only supports a subset of Web APIs.
ISR revalidation not triggering correctly
Incremental Static Regeneration configured with stale revalidate values or missing on-demand revalidation hooks, serving outdated content indefinitely.
Environment variables missing in production
Secrets added to .env.local but not configured in the Vercel dashboard, causing runtime crashes only in production while working perfectly in local dev.

Frequently asked questions
How do I deploy a Express app to Vercel?
We handle Express deployments to Vercel end to end. Start with our code audit ($19) to identify deployment blockers specific to your Express project, then we configure Vercel, fix issues, and get your app live in production.
What Express issues affect Vercel deployments?
Express projects commonly have no helmet middleware for security headers and missing input validation and sanitization. On Vercel, these combine with serverless function size exceeds 50mb limit and edge runtime incompatible with node.js apis to cause deployment failures.
Can SpringCode deploy my Express project to Vercel?
Yes. We specialize in deploying Express applications to Vercel. We audit your codebase for Express-specific issues, configure Vercel correctly, and handle the full deployment so your app runs reliably in production.
What does Express deployment to Vercel cost?
Our code audit ($19) identifies all Vercel deployment blockers in your Express project. Full deployment assistance is scoped with a fixed quote after the audit — no hourly billing or surprise charges.
