Vercel now natively supports Hono, a fast, lightweight backend framework built on web standards, with zero-configuration.

index.ts
import { Hono } from 'hono'
const app = new Hono()
app.get('/', (c) => {
return c.text("Hello Hono!"))
})
export default app

A "Hello world" Hono backend on Vercel

With the code above, use Vercel CLI to develop and deploy your Hono application:

Terminal
# Develop the application locally
vc dev
# Create a deployment
vc deploy

Using Vercel CLI to develop and deploy a Hono appliation

With this improved integration, Vercel's framework-defined infrastructure now recognizes and deeply understands Hono applications, ensuring they benefit from optimizations made from builds, deployments, and application delivery.

Now, new Hono applications deployed to Vercel benefit from Fluid compute, with Active CPU pricing, automatic cold start optimizations, background processing, and much more.

Deploy Hono on Vercel or visit Hono's Vercel documentation.
