## Vercel Functions [[FaaS]] server-side compute. Uses [[AWS Lambda]] under the hood. ## Dev Experience Docs are very focussed on point-and-click in browser rather than taking a CLI or [[Infrastructure-as-Code]] approach ☹️ . Although the CLI does have the capability, it's not documented as well in worked examples. ## Limitations - [Logs](https://vercel.com/support/articles/where-are-vercel-logs#function-logs) are not persisted: > Function logs are not stored and will be lost as soon as the functions logs page is navigated away from. This is quite a big limitation and something which [[Netlify Functions]] seems to be doing better on. However, it does seem that a "[log drain](https://vercel.com/integrations?category=logging)" can be set up to stream logs out to a third-party service. --- tags: #Serverless
