Description
NUSMods currently uses some serverless functions located at https://github.com/nusmodifications/serverless-functions, which are hosted by stdlib.com. This was necessary in the past as NUSMods had no way to run serverless functions.
However, the serverless landscape has been changing in recent years. Earlier this month, NUSMods moved much of its hosting to Vercel (#3098), and #3212 has added project infrastructure for Vercel Serverless Functions in /website.
As such, although not urgent since everything works, we can look into centralizing all our serverless functions in this repo.

Start by inventorying the serverless functions in the linked serverless-functions repository and reading the Vercel project infrastructure added in /website by #3212. Review the alternative suggestion in the linked pull-request comment and define the migration scope; done means the functions are centralized in this repository without breaking existing behavior.
