Vercel
AI toolRunning a website
Running a website and fast functions close to the user (edge functions) from the makers of Next.js.
What it is
Running a website and fast functions close to the user (edge functions).
Vercel created Next.js, today the most widespread framework on top of React. Its platform is the most convenient for Next.js apps, and features such as Incremental Static Regeneration (ISR) and server-side rendering (SSR) work straight away with no setup. Vercel is optimised for the "Edge", meaning it moves computation closer to the user to cut response time.
What it does
What it does
- Optimisations for Next.js (ISR and SSR, that is refreshing pages on the server) work with no setup
- Edge Functions with a worldwide cache and minimal response time
- Built-in data storage (KV, Postgres and Blob storage)
- Publishing with no setup, the framework is recognised automatically
- Automatic scaling of performance according to traffic
Good for
- High-performance dynamic web apps in Next.js
- AI apps that need continuous streaming of answers in real time
- Teams that want to publish by pushing code to Git without any setup
Not for
- Purely static websites, where Netlify offers more generous bandwidth limits
- Projects sensitive to costs as the number of functions run on demand (serverless) grows
Our verdict
For dynamic Next.js apps Vercel is the clear choice thanks to the deepest integration and fast deployment; for static websites consider the more generous limits of Netlify.
Why we use it
We use Vercel for running websites and edge functions. It excels at publishing and running modern web apps with edge functions, optimisations and automatic scaling of performance. It suits high-performance dynamic web apps with Next.js.
