Vercel is a modern hosting and deployment platform, built by the creators of Next.js. It has become the standard for running frontend and fullstack apps in the modern stack.
Key features
- Global Edge Network — your site is automatically deployed to a CDN with 100+ points of presence worldwide. Fast everywhere.
- Preview Deployments — every Git push creates a dedicated deployment with a unique URL for review before merge. A game-changer for collaboration.
- Serverless Functions — API routes with zero configuration. Automatic scaling.
- Edge Functions — code running close to the user (Vercel-style Cloudflare Workers).
- Deep Next.js integration — ISR, Streaming, RSC, all the advanced features work natively.
- DDoS Protection and Web Application Firewall: enterprise-grade security.
Particularly well suited for Next.js, React, Vue, Svelte, Astro and static projects. Deployment flow: connect to GitHub, every push deploys automatically, in 30 seconds you have a secured site on a custom domain with SSL.
Generous free tier (Hobby), Pro plans from $20 per developer per month, and Enterprise plans.
This site itself (the one you're reading) runs on Vercel.
