# Vercel
Supported OS 


## Overview{% #overview %}

[Vercel](https://vercel.com/) is a deployment and collaboration platform that enables frontend developers to build high-performance websites and applications. Vercel is also the creator of Next.js, a React framework developed in collaboration with engineers at Google and Facebook in 2016. Vercel users can leverage a built-in deployment tool that manages the build and rendering process, as well as a proprietary [Edge Network](https://vercel.com/docs/edge-network/overview) that caches their sites for fast retrieval. Additionally, Vercel offers [Serverless Functions](https://vercel.com/docs/serverless-functions/introduction), which allow users to deploy serverless code to accomplish essential backend processes like user authentication, form submission, and database queries.

Integrate Vercel with Datadog to:

- View and parse your application logs using [Datadog's Log Management](https://docs.datadoghq.com/logs/)
- See the number of requests and 4xx/5xx HTTP errors to your serverless applications and APIs running on Vercel
- Monitor frontend and [Vercel Functions](https://vercel.com/docs/functions) performance with [Datadog Synthetics](https://docs.datadoghq.com/synthetics/)

## Setup{% #setup %}

### Datadog{% #datadog %}

To connect Datadog with Vercel, enable the integration and select an API Key.

### Service Checks{% #service-checks %}

The Vercel integration does not include any service checks.

### Events{% #events %}

The Vercel integration does not include any events.

### Logs{% #logs %}

The Vercel integration collects logs from your Vercel Project using Vercel's [Log Drains](https://vercel.com/docs/observability/log-drains) feature.

## Troubleshooting{% #troubleshooting %}

If you are using the Vercel OpenTelemetry Collector, the `serviceName` specified in `registerOTel` block of your [initializer](https://vercel.com/docs/observability/otel-overview#initialize-otel) must match the Vercel Project name. This enables traces to appear in Datadog with the appropriate logs and metrics.
