Vercel

The platform for frontend developers, built for Next.js.

Vercel is a cloud platform optimized for frontend frameworks, particularly Next.js (which Vercel created). It provides instant global deployments, automatic SSL, edge functions, and preview deployments for every git push, all with zero configuration. Vercel's edge network spans 80+ locations worldwide, delivering content from the closest server to each user.

Vercel is our default deployment platform for Next.js projects. The zero-config deployment, automatic preview environments, and edge network deliver the best performance for our clients' websites. Every push to git triggers a deployment with a unique preview URL, making it easy for clients to review changes before they go live.

What we use it for

  • Next.js application deployment
  • Static site hosting with edge delivery
  • Serverless API functions
  • Preview environments for team collaboration
  • A/B testing with edge middleware
  • Image optimization and CDN delivery

What it gives us

  • Preview DeploymentsEvery pull request gets a unique URL for testing and team review before merging to production.
  • Edge NetworkContent and functions served from 80+ edge locations worldwide for minimal latency.
  • Analytics & Speed InsightsReal-user performance data and Core Web Vitals monitoring built into the platform.

Questions we get asked

Is Vercel free?
Vercel's Hobby tier is free for personal projects. Pro starts at $20/user/month with more bandwidth and features. Enterprise pricing is custom.
Vercel vs Netlify, which is better?
Vercel is better for Next.js projects (they created Next.js). Netlify is excellent for other frameworks. Both offer similar features, preview deploys, edge functions, and CDN delivery.
Can Vercel host backends?
Vercel supports serverless functions and edge functions for API routes. For full backends with databases and long-running processes, we pair Vercel with a separate backend service.
Is Vercel fast?
Yes. Vercel's edge network consistently delivers sub-100ms response times. Combined with Next.js optimizations, websites on Vercel score excellently on Core Web Vitals.
