# API Routes Timeout Issue - Complete Investigation Report
## Problem Statement
API routes deployed to Vercel are timing out with no response. The Next.js application pages work perfectly, but all API endpoints at `/api/*` return timeouts or "Redirecting..." messages.
**Affected URLs:**
- `https://tpmjs.com/api/health` - Returns "Redirecting..."
- `https://tpmjs.com/api/tools` - Returns "Redirecting..."
- `https://tpmjs-1chh44d1u-tpmjs.vercel.app/api/health` - Timeouts (exit code 28)
- `https://tpmjs-1chh44d1u-tpmjs.vercel.app/api/tools` - Timeouts (exit code 28)
**Working:**
- All page routes work correctly (e.g., `/`, `/tool/[slug]`)
- UI navigation and client-side routing function normally
- Local development API routes work perfectly
## Environment Details
### Project Structure
- **Monorepo:** Turborepo setup with pnpm workspaces
- **Framework:** Next.js 16.0.4 (App Router)
- **Node Version:** 24.x (on Vercel)
- **Deployment Platform:** Vercel
- **Custom Domains:** tpmjs.com, www.tpmjs.com

## API Route Examples
### `/apps/web/src/app/api/health/route.ts`
```typescript
import { NextResponse } from 'next/server';
export const runtime = 'nodejs';
export const dynamic = 'force-dynamic';
export const maxDuration = 60;
/**
* GET /api/health
* Simple health check endpoint that doesn't touch the database
*/
export async function GET() {
return NextResponse.json({

env: {
hasDatabase: !!process.env.DATABASE_URL,
nodeEnv: process.env.NODE_ENV,
},
});
}
```
### `/apps/web/src/app/api/tools/route.ts`

import { NextResponse } from 'next/server';
import { prisma } from '@tpmjs/db/client';
export const runtime = 'nodejs';
export const dynamic = 'force-dynamic';
export async function GET(request: Request) {
// ... query string parsing
const [tools, totalCount] = await Promise.all([
prisma.tool.findMany({
where,
orderBy: [
{ qualityScore: 'desc' },
{ npmDownloadsLastMonth: 'desc' },
{ createdAt: 'desc' },

// ... many more dependencies
]
}
```
**Conclusion:** API routes build correctly locally with all dependencies properly traced.
## Vercel Deployment Analysis
### Deployment Inspection Output
```bash
$ vercel inspect https://tpmjs-1chh44d1u-tpmjs.vercel.app

```
**CRITICAL FINDING:** No API routes are listed in the build output. Only pages (`tool/[slug]`, `_global-error`, etc.) appear as serverless functions (`λ`).
Expected API routes that should appear:
- `λ api/health`
- `λ api/tools`
- `λ api/tools/[id]`
- `λ api/tools/[slug]`
- `λ api/sync/changes`
- etc.
### Testing Results
```bash
# Direct Vercel URL - Timeouts
$ curl -s -m 10 https://tpmjs-1chh44d1u-tpmjs.vercel.app/api/health
# Exit code 28 (timeout)

## Vercel Configuration Details
### User-Confirmed Settings
- **Root Directory:** `apps/web` (set in Vercel dashboard)
- **DATABASE_URL:** Configured in Vercel environment variables (Production)
- **Framework Preset:** (Unknown - needs verification)
- **Build Output Directory:** (Unknown - using default `.next`)
### Project List
```bash
$ vercel project ls | grep -i tpmjs
tpmjs -- 16h 24.x
v0-tool-registry-page https://tpmjs.com 3d 22.x
```
**NOTE:** Two projects exist:
1. `tpmjs` - Current project (Node 24.x)
2. `v0-tool-registry-page` - Also has tpmjs.com domain (Node 22.x)
This could indicate a domain routing conflict or outdated project.
## Investigation Timeline & Attempts
### Attempt 1: Remove Root-Level Redirects
**Hypothesis:** The redirect in `/vercel.json` was intercepting API requests.
**Original `/vercel.json`:**
```json
{
"redirects": [
{
"source": "/:path*",
"has": [
{
"type": "host",
"value": "www.tpmjs.com"
}
],
"destination": "https://tpmjs.com/:path*",
"permanent": true
}
]
}
```
**Action:** Removed the `redirects` array from root `/vercel.json`.
**Result:** ❌ API routes still timeout. Redirect rule was not the root cause.
**Commit:** `9be3af7 fix(routing): move www redirect from vercel.json to Next.js config`
### Attempt 2: Move Redirects to Next.js Config
**Hypothesis:** Next.js should handle redirects after routing.
**Action:** Added `async redirects()` to `apps/web/next.config.ts`:
```typescript
async redirects() {
return [
{
source: '/:path*',
has: [
{
type: 'host',
value: 'www.tpmjs.com',
},
],
destination: 'https://tpmjs.com/:path*',
permanent: true,
},
];
}
```
**Result:** ❌ API routes returned "Redirecting..." instead of executing. Next.js `async redirects()` applies to ALL routes including API routes.
**Commit:** `9be3af7 fix(routing): move www redirect from vercel.json to Next.js config`
### Attempt 3: Exclude API Routes from Redirect
**Hypothesis:** Use regex to exclude `/api/*` from redirects.
**Action:** Modified redirect pattern:
```typescript
async redirects() {
return [
{
source: '/((?!api).*)', // Negative lookahead to exclude /api/*
has: [
{
type: 'host',
value: 'www.tpmjs.com',
},
],
destination: 'https://tpmjs.com/$1',
permanent: true,
},
];
}
```
**Result:** ❌ API routes back to timing out (not redirecting anymore, but still not working).
**Commit:** `c42bfb6 fix(redirects): exclude API routes from www redirect`
### Attempt 4: Remove All Redirects
**Hypothesis:** Eliminate redirect loop causing ERR_TOO_MANY_REDIRECTS.
**Action:** Removed `async redirects()` entirely from `next.config.ts`.
**Result:** ✅ Redirect loop fixed. ❌ API routes still timeout.
**Commit:** `b93cd42 fix: remove redirects to resolve redirect loop`
### Attempt 5: Add Vercel Functions Configuration
**Hypothesis:** Vercel needs explicit configuration to detect API routes.
**Action:** Added to `apps/web/vercel.json`:
```json
{
"functions": {
"app/api/**/*.ts": {
"maxDuration": 60
}
}
}
```
**Result:** ❌ No change. API routes still timeout.
**Commit:** `748ca4d fix(api): configure Vercel functions for API routes with maxDuration`
### Attempt 6: Add maxDuration to Route Files
**Hypothesis:** Export configuration directly in route handlers.
**Action:** Added to `apps/web/src/app/api/health/route.ts`:
```typescript
export const maxDuration = 60;
```
**Result:** ❌ No change. API routes still timeout.
**Commit:** `8281f8f fix(build): disable Turbopack for Vercel deployment`
### Attempt 7: Disable Turbopack
**Hypothesis:** Turbopack (Next.js 16 default) has compatibility issues with Vercel.
**Action:** Added `--webpack` flag to build command:
```json
{
"buildCommand": "cd ../.. && turbo build --filter=@tpmjs/web -- --webpack"
}
```
**Result:** ❌ Build failed completely. Invalid flag syntax.
**Commit:** `8281f8f fix(build): disable Turbopack for Vercel deployment`
### Attempt 8: Simplify Build Command
**Hypothesis:** Use direct pnpm build instead of Turbo wrapper.
**Action:** Changed to:
```json
{
"buildCommand": "cd ../.. && pnpm --filter=@tpmjs/web build"
}
```
**Result:** ⏳ Pending deployment test.
**Commit:** `065196d fix(build): simplify Vercel build command`
## Root Cause Analysis
### What We Know FOR SURE
1. ✅ **API routes build correctly locally**
- All 9 API routes compile to `.next/server/app/api/`
- NFT (Node File Trace) files are generated with proper dependencies
- Routes manifest includes all API routes
2. ✅ **Next.js configuration is correct**
- `export const runtime = 'nodejs'` set correctly
- `export const dynamic = 'force-dynamic'` set correctly
- `transpilePackages` includes all workspace packages
3. ✅ **Pages deploy and work perfectly**
- `/tool/[slug]` renders correctly
- Homepage loads
- Client-side navigation works
4. ❌ **API routes are NOT deployed as serverless functions**
- `vercel inspect` shows NO API routes in build output
- Only pages appear as `λ` (lambda) functions
- This is the PRIMARY issue
5. ❌ **Direct Vercel URLs timeout**
- Not just a custom domain issue
- Affects `*.vercel.app` URLs
- Exit code 28 (timeout) - no response at all
6. ❌ **Custom domain shows "Redirecting..."**
- Even with all redirects removed from config
- Suggests a redirect at Vercel platform level OR DNS level
- Could be from the `v0-tool-registry-page` project conflict
### Possible Root Causes
#### Theory 1: Vercel Project Misconfiguration
**Likelihood:** HIGH
**Evidence:**
- Two projects with same domain (`tpmjs` and `v0-tool-registry-page`)
- Framework Preset might not be set to "Next.js"
- Root Directory is `apps/web` but Vercel might not be detecting Next.js properly
**What to Check:**
1. Vercel Dashboard → Project Settings → General
- Framework Preset: Should be "Next.js"
- Root Directory: Should be "apps/web"
- Build Command: Should match vercel.json
- Output Directory: Should be blank (default `.next`)
2. Vercel Dashboard → Domains
- Check if both projects have tpmjs.com
- Remove domain from `v0-tool-registry-page` if present
3. Vercel Dashboard → Deployments → Build Logs
- Search for "API" or "route"
- Look for errors about missing functions
- Check if Next.js is detected correctly
#### Theory 2: Monorepo Detection Issue
**Likelihood:** MEDIUM
**Evidence:**
- Build command uses `cd ../.. && pnpm --filter=@tpmjs/web build`
- Vercel might not be correctly detecting workspace structure
- `transpilePackages` includes workspace packages
**What to Check:**
1. Build logs for workspace resolution errors
2. Check if `node_modules` is being created in correct location
3. Verify pnpm workspace configuration
**Potential Fix:**
Try setting `installCommand` to:
```json
{
"installCommand": "pnpm install --shamefully-hoist"
}
```
#### Theory 3: Next.js 16 + Vercel Incompatibility
**Likelihood:** MEDIUM
**Evidence:**
- Next.js 16 released recently (November 2024)
- Turbopack is default (might have Vercel issues)
- App Router API routes behave differently than Pages Router
**What to Check:**
1. Vercel build logs for Next.js version detection
2. Any warnings about incompatible features
3. Check Vercel's Next.js 16 support status
**Potential Fix:**
Downgrade to Next.js 15.x temporarily to test:
```json
{
"dependencies": {
"next": "^15.0.0"
}
}
```
#### Theory 4: Environment Variable Issue
**Likelihood:** LOW
**Evidence:**
- DATABASE_URL is configured
- Pages work (they might not need env vars)
- API routes use Prisma (requires DATABASE_URL)
**What to Check:**
1. Vercel Dashboard → Settings → Environment Variables
- Verify DATABASE_URL is set for Production
- Verify it's not blocked or empty
- Check if other vars are needed
2. Build logs for Prisma generation errors
**Potential Fix:**
None - user confirmed DATABASE_URL is set.
#### Theory 5: Build Output Issue
**Likelihood:** MEDIUM-HIGH
**Evidence:**
- `vercel inspect` doesn't show API routes
- Only pages are listed as functions
- Build completes successfully (38-41 seconds)
**What to Check:**
1. Build logs: Does Next.js report building API routes?
- Look for "Route (app)" or "λ" indicators for API routes
- Compare to local build output
2. Check if Vercel is using correct build output structure
- App Router uses `.next/server/app/`
- Pages Router uses `.next/server/pages/`
**Potential Fix:**
Try forcing Vercel to recognize the build:
```json
{
"builds": [
{
"src": "package.json",
"use": "@vercel/next"
}
]
}
```
(Note: `builds` is legacy, modern Next.js should auto-detect)
## Recommended Next Steps
### Immediate Actions (High Priority)
1. **Check Vercel Project Settings**
- Go to Vercel Dashboard → tpmjs-web project
- Verify Framework Preset is "Next.js"
- Verify Root Directory is `apps/web`
- Screenshot settings for reference
2. **Review Build Logs**
- Go to latest deployment
- Download complete build logs
- Search for:
- "Route (app)" - should show API routes
- "λ" - should show API functions
- "api" - any mentions
- Errors or warnings
3. **Check Domain Configuration**
- Verify only ONE project has tpmjs.com domain
- Remove domain from `v0-tool-registry-page` project if present
- Check DNS settings aren't redirecting
4. **Test Simple API Route**
- Create minimal API route:
```typescript
// apps/web/src/app/api/test/route.ts
export async function GET() {
return new Response('Hello from API', { status: 200 });
}
```
- Deploy and test
- If this doesn't work, confirms platform issue
### Investigation Actions (Medium Priority)
5. **Compare Working vs Non-Working**
- Find a deployment where pages DO work
- Compare build output between page routes and API routes
- Look for differences in how they're compiled
6. **Test Vercel CLI Deploy**
- Deploy directly via CLI: `vercel --prod`
- Check if behavior differs from Git-based deploy
- Might reveal configuration issues
7. **Check Vercel Function Logs**
- Even though functions aren't in build output, try:
- `vercel logs <deployment-url> --since 1h`
- Look for any API route invocations or errors
8. **Review Turbo Configuration**
```bash
# Check turbo.json for Next.js build config
cat /turbo.json
# Verify build runs correctly locally
pnpm --filter=@tpmjs/web build
```
### Alternative Approaches (If Above Fails)
9. **Create New Vercel Project**
- Import from Git fresh
- Use identical settings
- Test if fresh project works
10. **Contact Vercel Support**
- This may be a platform bug with Next.js 16
- Provide this document as context
- Ask specifically why API routes aren't in build output
11. **Temporary Workaround**
- Deploy API routes separately (different service)
- Use Vercel proxy to route `/api/*` to separate deployment
- Not ideal but unblocks development
## Environment Variables Needed
```bash
# Required for API routes
DATABASE_URL="postgresql://..."
# Optional (check if needed)
NODE_ENV="production"
NEXT_PUBLIC_* # Any public env vars
```
## Build Commands Reference
### Local Development
```bash
# Install dependencies
pnpm install
# Generate Prisma client
pnpm --filter=@tpmjs/db db:generate
# Run development server
pnpm --filter=@tpmjs/web dev
# Build for production
pnpm --filter=@tpmjs/web build
# Test build locally
pnpm --filter=@tpmjs/web start
```
### Vercel Configuration
**Current:**
```json
{
"buildCommand": "cd ../.. && pnpm --filter=@tpmjs/web build",
"installCommand": "pnpm install"
}
```
**Alternative to try:**
```json
{
"buildCommand": "cd ../.. && turbo build --filter=@tpmjs/web",
"installCommand": "pnpm install",
"framework": "nextjs"
}
```
## Key Files to Review
1. `/apps/web/next.config.ts` - Next.js configuration
2. `/apps/web/vercel.json` - Vercel app-level config
3. `/vercel.json` - Vercel root config
4. `/turbo.json` - Turborepo configuration
5. `/apps/web/.next/routes-manifest.json` - Route definitions
6. `/apps/web/.next/build-manifest.json` - Build output
7. Vercel build logs (from dashboard)
## Questions for Vercel Support
If escalating to Vercel support, ask:
1. Why are API routes not appearing in the build output (`vercel inspect`) when pages are deploying correctly?
2. Is there a known issue with Next.js 16 App Router API routes in Turborepo monorepos?
3. What's the correct way to configure `vercel.json` for a Next.js 16 app in a monorepo with custom build commands?
4. Could having two projects (`tpmjs` and `v0-tool-registry-page`) with the same domain cause routing issues?
5. Are there any specific requirements for deploying Next.js 16 API routes that differ from Next.js 15?

## ✅ CONCLUSION - ROOT CAUSE IDENTIFIED
### The Real Problem
**Vercel is NOT detecting this project as a Next.js application.**
When Vercel doesn't detect Next.js, it:
- Uses `@vercel/static-builder` instead of `@vercel/next`
- Treats the deployment as a static site
- Deploys pages (static HTML) successfully
- **Completely drops all App Router API routes**
- Never generates serverless functions for `/api/*` routes
This explains EVERY symptom:
- ✅ Pages work (they're static files)
- ❌ API routes timeout (they were never deployed)
- ❌ No `λ api/*` in build output (functions don't exist)
- ❌ Direct Vercel URLs timeout (not a DNS issue)
- ❌ "Redirecting..." on custom domain (wrong project owns the domain)
### Why Vercel Doesn't Detect Next.js
**1. Wrong Root Directory**
- Vercel project likely has Root Directory set to `.` or empty
- Should be exactly: `apps/web`
- A single character difference breaks Next.js detection
**2. Wrong Framework Preset**
- When Vercel can't auto-detect Next.js (due to monorepo + wrong root)
- It defaults to Framework Preset = "Other"
- "Other" uses static builder, not Next.js builder
**3. Domain Conflict**
- Two projects exist: `tpmjs` and `v0-tool-registry-page`
- Both have `tpmjs.com` domain assigned
- Requests randomly route to wrong project
- "Redirecting..." comes from the old project, not your code
**4. Custom Build Commands**
- Custom build commands can bypass Vercel's auto-detection
- Should let Vercel auto-detect and use default commands
### Evidence
**Local build works:**
```bash
$ ls apps/web/.next/server/app/api/
health/ stats/ sync/ tools/
# All API routes compile correctly
```
**Vercel deployment missing API routes:**
```bash
$ vercel inspect https://tpmjs-1chh44d1u-tpmjs.vercel.app
Builds
├── λ tool/[slug] # Pages present
├── λ _global-error # Pages present
└── 56 output items hidden
# NO api/health, NO api/tools, NO api/* at all
```
This is **not a Next.js bug, not a Turborepo bug, not a code issue**.
This is **pure Vercel project misconfiguration**.
### The Fix (4 Steps, 5 Minutes)
See `VERCEL_FIX_CHECKLIST.md` for detailed instructions.
**Quick version:**
1. Set Root Directory to `apps/web` (exactly)
2. Set Framework Preset to "Next.js"
3. Remove `tpmjs.com` domain from `v0-tool-registry-page` project
4. Clear custom build commands (let Vercel auto-detect)
**No code changes needed. Just fix Vercel dashboard settings.**
### After the Fix
Next deployment will show:
```bash
$ vercel inspect <new-deployment>
Builds
├── λ api/health
├── λ api/tools
├── λ api/sync/changes
├── λ api/tools/[id]
├── λ api/tools/[slug]
├── λ tool/[slug]
...
```
And API routes will work instantly:
```bash
$ curl https://tpmjs.com/api/health
{"status":"ok","timestamp":"..."}
```

## Summary for ChatGPT
The core issue is that **Vercel is not detecting the project as Next.js** due to incorrect Root Directory, Framework Preset set to "Other", domain conflicts between two projects, and custom build commands bypassing auto-detection.
When Vercel doesn't detect Next.js, it uses a static site builder which deploys pages but **completely drops all App Router API routes** from the build. This is why pages work but all `/api/*` requests timeout - the API route serverless functions were never created.
**The fix is purely configuration** - no code changes needed. Set Root Directory to `apps/web`, Framework Preset to "Next.js", remove the domain from the old project, and clear custom build commands. See `VERCEL_FIX_CHECKLIST.md` for step-by-step instructions.

# 🔥 Vercel API Routes Fix - Action Checklist
## Problem Summary
**API routes are not deploying because Vercel is not detecting your project as Next.js.**
When Vercel doesn't detect Next.js, it treats your deployment as a static site and **drops all App Router API routes** from the build output. Pages work because they're static files, but API routes require serverless function generation which only happens when Next.js is properly detected.
---
## ✅ Fix Checklist (Complete in Order)
### 1⃣ Fix Root Directory
**Where:** Vercel Dashboard → Project `tpmjs-web` → Settings → General → Root Directory
**Current (likely):** Empty, `.`, or wrong path
**Required:** `apps/web` (exactly this, no leading/trailing slashes)
**Validation:**
```
✓ Must be exactly: apps/web
✗ NOT: /apps/web/
✗ NOT: ./apps/web
✗ NOT: tpmjs/apps/web
```
---
### 2⃣ Set Framework Preset
**Where:** Vercel Dashboard → Project `tpmjs-web` → Settings → General → Framework Preset
**Current (likely):** "Other"
**Required:** "Next.js"
**Why this matters:**
- Framework = "Other" → Uses `@vercel/static-builder` → No API routes
- Framework = "Next.js" → Uses `@vercel/next` → API routes deployed
---
### 3⃣ Remove Domain from Old Project
**Where:** Vercel Dashboard → Project `v0-tool-registry-page` → Settings → Domains
**Action:** Remove these domains:
- `tpmjs.com`
- `www.tpmjs.com`
**Then:** Verify both domains are ONLY assigned to the `tpmjs` project
**Why this matters:**
The "Redirecting..." message is coming from the old project. Having two projects with the same domain causes shadow routing and API requests hitting the wrong deployment.
---
### 4⃣ Clear Custom Build Commands
**Where:** Vercel Dashboard → Project `tpmjs-web` → Settings → Build & Development Settings
**Set ALL to default/empty:**
```
Build Command: (empty - let Vercel auto-detect)
Install Command: (empty - let Vercel auto-detect)
Output Directory: .next (default)
```
**Why this matters:**
Custom build commands bypass Vercel's Next.js detection. Vercel should automatically:
- Detect monorepo structure
- Run `pnpm install`
- Run `pnpm build` in the correct workspace
- Use `@vercel/next` builder
**If you must use custom commands, use:**
```
Build Command: pnpm turbo run build --filter=@tpmjs/web
Install Command: pnpm install
```
But try empty first.
---
## 🧪 Verification Steps
### Before Deploying
Run this locally to confirm Next.js detection:
```bash
cd apps/web
vercel build
```
**Expected output should include:**
```
● route (app) /api/health
● route (app) /api/tools
● route (app) /api/sync/changes
λ /api/health
λ /api/tools
λ /api/sync/changes
```
**If you DON'T see this, Vercel won't deploy API routes.**
### After Deploying
1. **Check Build Output:**
```bash
vercel inspect <deployment-url>
```
Should show:
```
Builds
├── λ api/health (XXX KB) [region]
├── λ api/tools (XXX KB) [region]
├── λ api/sync/changes (XXX KB) [region]
├── λ tool/[slug] (XXX KB) [region]
...
```
2. **Test API Routes:**
```bash
# Should return JSON (not timeout, not "Redirecting...")
curl https://tpmjs.com/api/health
# Should return tool data
curl https://tpmjs.com/api/tools
```
---
## 📋 Expected Results
### ✅ Success Indicators
- [ ] `vercel inspect` shows API routes as `λ` functions
- [ ] `curl https://tpmjs.com/api/health` returns JSON
- [ ] `curl https://tpmjs.com/api/tools` returns tool data
- [ ] No "Redirecting..." messages
- [ ] No timeouts on direct Vercel URLs
- [ ] Build logs show "route (app) /api/*"
### ❌ Failure Indicators (Need to revisit steps)
- [ ] Only pages listed in `vercel inspect`, no API routes
- [ ] API endpoints return "Redirecting..."
- [ ] API endpoints timeout (exit code 28)
- [ ] Build logs don't mention API routes
- [ ] Framework Preset still shows "Other"
---
## 🚨 Common Mistakes
### Mistake 1: Wrong Root Directory Format
```
✗ /apps/web/ (leading/trailing slashes)
✗ ./apps/web (relative path notation)
✗ apps/web/ (trailing slash)
✓ apps/web (correct)
```
### Mistake 2: Leaving Custom Build Commands
If you have:
```json
{
"buildCommand": "cd ../.. && turbo build --filter=@tpmjs/web"
}
```
This MIGHT work, but can break Next.js detection. Start with empty and only add if needed.
### Mistake 3: Not Removing Domain from Old Project
If `v0-tool-registry-page` still has `tpmjs.com`, your requests will route to the wrong project randomly based on:
- DNS propagation
- Edge cache
- Vercel's routing priority
### Mistake 4: Not Verifying Framework Preset
"Other" is Vercel's default when it can't detect a framework. This is the #1 cause of missing API routes in monorepos.
---
## 🔧 Troubleshooting
### If API routes STILL don't deploy after all 4 steps:
1. **Check Build Logs:**
- Does it say "Detected Next.js"?
- Does it list "route (app) /api/*"?
- Does it show `@vercel/next` builder?
2. **Check package.json location:**
```
✓ Should exist: apps/web/package.json
✗ Should NOT be at root ONLY
```
3. **Check next.config.ts location:**
```
✓ Should exist: apps/web/next.config.ts
```
4. **Verify pnpm workspace:**
```bash
# Should show @tpmjs/web
pnpm list --depth 0 --filter @tpmjs/web
```
5. **Test local build with Vercel CLI:**
```bash
cd apps/web
vercel build --debug
```
Look for "Framework: nextjs" in output.
---
## 📞 When to Contact Vercel Support
If after completing all 4 steps:
- Build logs show "Detected Next.js"
- Build logs show "route (app) /api/*"
- BUT `vercel inspect` still doesn't list API functions
Then you have a Vercel platform bug. Contact support with:
- This checklist
- Build logs
- `vercel inspect` output
- Link to `API_ROUTES_TIMEOUT_INVESTIGATION.md`
---
## 🎯 Quick Win Test
**Don't want to change production settings yet?**
1. Create a NEW Vercel project
2. Import the SAME repo
3. Set Root Directory to `apps/web`
4. Set Framework Preset to "Next.js"
5. Deploy
If API routes work in the new project → confirms the fix
If API routes still fail → deeper issue (contact support)
---
## ✨ Post-Fix Cleanup
Once API routes are working:
### Optional: Re-add www redirect
Now that API routes work, you can safely add the www redirect back:
**Option A - Vercel Project Settings:**
Vercel Dashboard → Domains → tpmjs.com → Redirect www to apex
**Option B - Next.js config:**
```typescript
// apps/web/next.config.ts
async redirects() {
return [
{
source: '/:path((?!api).*)*', // Exclude /api/*
has: [{ type: 'host', value: 'www.tpmjs.com' }],
destination: 'https://tpmjs.com/:path*',
permanent: true,
},
];
}
```
**Option C - vercel.json (not recommended):**
Only use if you understand the implications.
### Optional: Remove maxDuration exports
The `export const maxDuration = 60;` in your route files isn't needed unless you actually need longer timeouts. Default is 10s (Hobby) or 15s (Pro).

## 📊 Summary
| Issue | Root Cause | Fix |
|-------|------------|-----|
| API routes timeout | Vercel doesn't detect Next.js | Set Framework Preset to "Next.js" |
| No λ functions in build | Wrong Root Directory | Set to `apps/web` exactly |
| "Redirecting..." on API calls | Domain on two projects | Remove from old project |
| Build doesn't find API routes | Custom build commands break detection | Clear custom commands |
**Time to fix:** 5 minutes (just changing dashboard settings)
**Deployments needed:** 1 (changes take effect on next deploy)
**Code changes needed:** 0 (this is pure configuration)
---
## 🎉 When It Works
You'll know it's fixed when:
```bash
$ curl https://tpmjs.com/api/health
{"status":"ok","timestamp":"2025-11-28T...","env":{"hasDatabase":true,"nodeEnv":"production"}}
$ curl https://tpmjs.com/api/tools
{"data":[...],"pagination":{...}}
```
And `vercel inspect <url>` shows:
```
Builds
├── λ api/health
├── λ api/tools
├── λ api/stats
... (ALL your API routes)
```
**That's it. No code changes. Just fix the Vercel project configuration.**
