Add a Backend & CMS to a Website Hosted on Vercel
Vercel is a hosting and deployment platform commonly used for Next.js and other frontend frameworks. VibeBackend is a separate hosted backend your Vercel-deployed site talks to over an API, so you keep your existing deployment and add a CMS, forms and lead tracking behind it.
How VibeBackend connects to Vercel
Fetch published content from the Content API, and add an HMAC-signed VibeBackend webhook that calls a Vercel Deploy Hook so publishing content triggers a redeploy. A typed Next.js SDK is on the roadmap.
Who it's for
Teams hosting a site on Vercel — often Next.js — who want managed content and automatic rebuilds when content is published.
What's supported
- Content fetching from a site deployed on Vercel
- Signed rebuild webhooks that can trigger a Vercel Deploy Hook (beta)
- Form submissions and lead tracking
- Draft, publish and unpublish workflow
Setup process
- 1Connect your site in the VibeBackend dashboard to get a site ID and read token.
- 2Fetch published content from the Content API in your app.
- 3Create a Vercel Deploy Hook for your project.
- 4Add the Deploy Hook URL as a signed webhook endpoint in VibeBackend so publishing redeploys the site.
Common questions
- Can I connect an existing Vercel website?
- Yes. VibeBackend is a hosted backend your Vercel-deployed site calls over an API. You keep your existing Vercel project and deployment and add content management behind it.
- Does VibeBackend host my frontend?
- No. Your frontend stays on Vercel. VibeBackend provides the backend and CMS your site connects to; it does not host or replace your frontend.
- How do published changes reach my Vercel site?
- Add a signed VibeBackend webhook that calls a Vercel Deploy Hook. When you publish content, the webhook triggers a redeploy so the change goes live.
