Your Data and Files

A free database, migrations you can trust, and a restore you have actually run

5 sessions145 minutes to do1 free

Your Data and Files is the boring course that saves you. You will pick a free database and provision Postgres on Neon through the Vercel Marketplace, write migrations you can trust because they are append-only and idempotent, and make sure preview deployments can never touch production data. Then files and storage caps, so a media-heavy project does not stall halfway, and finally backups plus the restore drill that proves the backup works.

It is for anyone whose app now holds something real: customers, donors, invoices, bookings. If losing that data would ruin your week, this is the course to do before the next one.

Time to complete: 5 sessions, about 2.5 hours of video in total, at your own pace. 1 of them is free to watch before you decide anything. Nothing is scheduled, nothing is live, and nothing expires, so you can stop after any session and pick it up again whenever the week allows.
