The "experimental-edge" flag in nextjs allows me to deploy websocket in vercel?
That's what I was going for. Almost all of my backend goes through the websocket (I just have a couple of additional http queries like login, which I guess are negligible).
So, since I'm going to have to build a server to be able to use websocket, for that I already put the websocket in nextJS (if possible) and simply deploy to heroku or railway and I "sacrify" the few or no advantages that serverless would offer me in my case .
If I could even use API routes and not have to build a custom server that would be great. What do you think of doing something like this?

I understand that if I deploy it on a persistent connection it should work right?

I understand. Rather than using Pusher, I prefer to use a separate server in express which I'm already more familiar with. And in that case, I'm going to have to "manage, scale, and configure my infrastructure" anyway, right?

Thank you so much! Another question...
could I use websocket in the nextJS API and deploy to something like Heroku or Railway?
I know many just use an external server like express, but I would prefer to use everything in the nextjs API. Or at least monorepo.
