Vercel Functions Runtime
This covers the core Vercel serverless stack: API routes, Edge Runtime for low-latency execution, cron jobs for scheduled tasks, and routing middleware. You'd reach for it when building any serverless workload on Vercel, whether that's REST endpoints, background jobs, or edge functions that need to run close to users. The skill is structured around the platform's main primitives rather than deep implementation details, so it's more of a reference map than a tutorial. It links out to official Vercel docs for functions, edge runtime constraints, cron syntax, and middleware patterns. If you're already comfortable with Vercel's deployment model, this gives you the vocabulary and pointers to wire up the serverless pieces.

Overview
Vercel Functions provide serverless execution for APIs and background tasks. The Edge Runtime enables low-latency execution closer to users.
Vercel Functions
- Define serverless functions in the project structure.
- Use environment variables for configuration.
- Review logs for errors and performance.
Edge Runtime
- Use the Edge Runtime for low-latency execution.
- Validate compatibility with the Edge runtime constraints.
Cron Jobs
- Schedule jobs with cron definitions.
- Use cron for periodic maintenance tasks or sync jobs.
