# Vercel

Deploy your application to Vercel. You'll need a hosted database backend (we recommend PocketHost) and configured Vercel environment variables.

New projects build with `@sveltejs/adapter-node`, which is what [`vela deploy`](/deploy) runs. Switch to Vercel's adapter first:

```
$ npm uninstall @sveltejs/adapter-node
$ npm install -D @sveltejs/adapter-vercel
```

Then import the adapter from `@sveltejs/adapter-vercel` in `vite.config.ts`:

```ts
import adapter from '@sveltejs/adapter-vercel';
```

Set the environment variables and deploy:

```
$ vercel env add POCKETBASE_URL
$ vercel env add POCKETBASE_SUPERUSER_EMAIL
$ vercel env add POCKETBASE_SUPERUSER_PASSWORD
$ vercel deploy
```
