Vercel: Express, NextJS, TypeScript and Now

[ghost]

Hi,

This is from one of the examples on zeit/next.js - https://github.com/zeit/next.js/tree/canary/examples/custom-server-typescript

I am trying to deploy this example. If I just say now on the command prompt as you may expect all the contents of the directory gets uploaded.

As a next step I created now.json. Now in this example we have nextjs and express. The now.json I created with 2 builds one for nextjs and another for node-server.

Like below -

{
    "version": 2,
    "builds": [
        { "src": "next.config.js", "use": "@now/next" },
        { "src": "package.json", "use": "@now/node-server" }
      ]
}

Or should I consider doing 2 different deploys one for backend and one for frontend.

The best way to solve this would be to simply create two directories within your project. After that, set the src to the directories you created.
