Create Database Resources For Persisting Messages

This workshop shows how to turn a quick Vercel AI SDK chat prototype into a durable, persistent product with backend persistence, real-time updates, and solid routing. You'll implement a POST /api/chat that streams completions with createDataStreamResponse, use Drizzle to create the chat and emit the chatId on the stream, save user and assistant messages as they arrive, and rehydrate the UI from stored conversations while keeping the sidebar in sync via route revalidation.
