I really hope Vercel keeps investing in hosting backends! Such an underrated use case. It is such an improvement to the considerably more manual options like managing all of the infrastructure and CI/CD on AWS directly.

would love to see some Hono examples! I have a Hono API currently deployed to Render, but all my other apps are on Vercel, so it would be extremely nice to consolidate that all to one place.

Wil this eventually work for other languages, or is this going to stay as a tool for Javascript developers?
