AWS database services land in the Vercel Marketplace
Starting December 15th, Vercel is adding three AWS database services to its Marketplace: Aurora PostgreSQL, Amazon DynamoDB, and Aurora DSQL. The native integrations are part of an expanded partnership between the two companies and aim to cut out the manual work of provisioning and wiring up database infrastructure.
The integrations let developers create and connect AWS databases directly from the Vercel dashboard. Vercel takes over credential handling and environment variable management, so once a database is selected, it can be attached to a project and queried immediately. The company's v0 tool also supports the integrations from day one, automatically provisioning databases when an app requires them.
AWS has been Vercel's preferred cloud provider, and the company frames this launch as an extension of that relationship. In a statement, Vercel Chief Product Officer Tom Occhino called the expanded partnership a way to bring "world-class database infrastructure directly into the Vercel developer experience" and help developers build "with infrastructure that configures itself."
"Our expanded partnership with AWS brings world-class database infrastructure directly into the Vercel developer experience. Together, we're helping developers build faster, with less friction, and with infrastructure that configures itself."

From concept to production in fewer steps
The new workflow is built around one-click provisioning. From the Marketplace, developers pick Aurora PostgreSQL, DynamoDB, or Aurora DSQL, choose a region and plan, and the database is created without leaving the Vercel dashboard. New AWS customers get a free starter plan plus $100 in credits.
Configuration is handled automatically: Vercel manages environment variables and connection details, so there are no manual secrets to set up. Each database runs on AWS infrastructure with the reliability, scalability, and security guarantees of the underlying services. For advanced configuration, a single click opens the database directly in the AWS console.
v0 provisions databases automatically
For v0 users, the setup is entirely hands-off. Describing an app triggers the tool to provision the appropriate AWS database, generate the schema, and populate sample data. The resulting database appears in the Storage tab like any other resource and can be connected to additional projects or opened in the AWS Console.
Moving toward self-driving infrastructure
This release builds on Vercel's broader "self-driving infrastructure" vision, in which the platform handles configuration, scaling, and optimization based on developer intent. The combination of AWS cloud services with Vercel's developer experience is meant to let teams go from first commit to global scale without manual infrastructure management.
Getting started
Once the integrations go live on December 15th, the steps are:
- Navigate to the Vercel Marketplace → AWS
- Choose Aurora PostgreSQL, Amazon DynamoDB, or Aurora DSQL
- Select region and plan (free starter plan with $100 in credits available for new AWS customers)
- Connect the database to a project; Vercel handles credentials and configuration automatically
For v0 users, the process is simpler still: describe the app and the tool generates the frontend, backend, and AWS database automatically.
