Vercel is the creator of Next.js and provides a zero-configuration deployment platform for frontend applications. It offers automatic Git-based deployments, serverless and edge functions, image optimization, and a global CDN. Preview deployments are created for every pull request, and the platform supports Next.js, React, Vue, Svelte, and static sites.
Deploy Next.js applications with zero configuration, automatic ISR, edge middleware, and optimized server-side rendering across Vercel's global edge network.
Automatically generate a unique deployment URL for every pull request, enabling designers, PMs, and QA to review changes before they reach production.
Run code at the edge before requests reach your application for A/B testing, feature flags, authentication checks, and geo-based routing with sub-millisecond cold starts.
