Vercel

Vercel is a cloud platform for frontend developers founded by Guillermo Rauch in 2015 as ZEIT and rebranded to Vercel in 2020, providing zero-configuration deployment, global edge network distribution, automatic scaling, and preview deployments for modern web applications, tightly integrated with Next.js which is also developed by Vercel, serving over thirty million weekly deployments from developers and teams at companies including Netflix, Hulu, Washington Post, GitHub, and Stripe. The deployment pipeline connects directly to Git repositories on GitHub, GitLab, and Bitbucket, automatically building and deploying applications on every push with preview URLs for each branch and pull request, enabling code review with live, shareable preview environments that match production, with automatic builds triggered by commits and instant rollback to previous deployments. The edge network spans over one hundred points of presence globally, serving static assets and running serverless functions at the network edge closest to each user, achieving sub-fifty millisecond response times worldwide, with smart image optimization, incremental static regeneration, and edge middleware for geolocation, A/B testing, and authentication. The serverless and edge functions support Node.js, Go, Python, Ruby, and Edge Runtime, with automatic scaling from zero to thousands of concurrent executions. The framework support covers Next.js, Nuxt, SvelteKit, Astro, Remix, Gatsby, Hugo, Eleventy, and custom frameworks through zero-configuration detection. The analytics and speed insights measure real user performance. The enterprise tier adds SSO, audit logs, and advanced caching controls. Designed for frontend developers, full-stack teams, and growing companies.
