Vercel

Vercel is a hosting platform built around the frontend workflow. A project connects to a Git repository, and every push produces a deployment: production builds from the main branch, and preview builds from every other branch and pull request. The platform is best known for Next.js, the React framework its parent company maintains, but it builds and serves other frameworks and static output too. Deployments run on a global edge network, and build configuration lives in a checked-in file rather than only in a dashboard, so settings travel with the code. Beyond hosting, Vercel sells the surrounding primitives: serverless and edge functions, image optimization, and storage through marketplace partners. Teams that want one vendor for the frontend path consolidate here; teams with long-running backend workloads usually keep those elsewhere.
