Formerly known as ZEIT, Vercel has a lot to offer in the serverless movement.
ZEIT was one of the pioneering companies at the time pushing Serverless technology. ZEIT’s first focus was to ease deployments, which resulted in the creation of Next.js.
Some of Vercel’s customers include AirBnB, Auth0, GitHub and the Washington Post.
Vercel announced a whopping $21M Series A funding early 2020.
