Where would those DBs be deployed? I mean, can vercel host DBs or do you still have to figure out a way of host them yourself?

[neurostimulant]

You're supposed to use other hosted database vendor or your own database server if you need it. I don't think they offer any database service.

What’s the recommended DB host? Does the Next community have a go to?

I personally have Caprover running on a $5/month DigitalOcean droplet where I can create DBs on the fly for small projects. I normally switch to a better hosted platform for bigger projects. Heroku is also good but the free plan is 10,000 rows and the next plan is $9/m.

I don't think there's an official recommendation. Any database host will work just fine. However if you want to optimize based on location, here are the regions where Vercel hosts: https://vercel.com/docs/edge-network/regions#routing. So hosting a database in AWS in any of those regions probably makes the most sense.

I've had success with FaunaDB, simple and cheap to get started and you get a GraphQL endpoint as well as their query language (FQL).

I use Heroku; gets the job done and is simple.

Yeah, you'd have to host them yourself. So suppose you have a basic webapp with users logged in a DB:

Vercel(Frontend -> Serverless functions) -> DB
