Vercel
The frontend cloud that makes deployment effortless
Overview
Vercel has defined what modern web deployment looks like: push to git, get a production deployment. Every branch gets a preview URL. Every PR gets a deployment preview with comments. The feedback loop between code change and live result is measured in seconds, not minutes.
For Next.js applications, Vercel's integration is unmatched - the framework and platform are built by the same team. Server Components, edge middleware, ISR, and image optimization all work optimally on Vercel without configuration. You write the code; Vercel handles the infrastructure.
The global edge network serves your application from data centers worldwide, ensuring fast load times regardless of where your users are. Static assets, server-rendered pages, and edge functions all deploy globally by default.
