Need Help Starting Out ;-; (Next.js + Tailwind + Neon)

DATABASE_URL='omitted for obvious reasons'

import { neon } from "@neondatabase/serverless";
import { NextRequest, NextResponse } from "next/server";

type ResponseData = { message: string }

const sql = neon(process.env.DATABASE_URL);

export default async function handler(req: NextRequest, res: NextResponse<ResponseData>) {
    const response = await sql`SELECT version()`;

    console.log(response);

    res.status(200).json({
        data: response,
    });
}
