Currently, I am following a tutorial by CJ, where he demonstrates deploying his server using now.
However, the tutorial is now outdated as now has been replaced with vercel. I am unsure about how to proceed with vercel. Can someone provide guidance on this process? I have both a backend and a frontend. CJ's method involved deploying the server with now, and another helpful tutorial also makes use of now.
To access my server at velcer: click here for the vercel app
