Vercel, created by the team behind Next.js, has become the deployment platform of choice for frontend and full-stack web applications. Push to Git and your application is built, deployed to a global edge network, and live in seconds. Preview deployments give every pull request its own URL for testing. Vercel's edge functions and serverless functions handle backend logic without managing servers. While it works with any framework, the integration with Next.js is seamless — features like ISR, server components, and middleware work out of the box. The free tier is generous enough for personal projects and small teams.
