Vercel
Managed application platform for web delivery, functions, AI workloads, and integrated storage.
Vercel turns a source repository into an immutable web deployment. Every successful build gets its own URL, and the same release model serves preview and production environments. The project ties framework-aware builds, managed compute, and global delivery to that release model. Rolling Releases are a Pro/Enterprise deployment control, with Pro limited to one project. Node.js multi-region failover requires the documented Enterprise configuration and supported runtime path. Marketplace databases do not supply native Vercel database capabilities.
Best for
Frontend and full-stack teams that want Git-based deployments, framework-aware builds, global delivery, serverless compute, and integrated data services in one workflow.
Watch out for
Vercel combines seat pricing with separately metered platform services. Compute, bandwidth, storage, and observability can each grow the bill independently.

FAQ
Is Vercel only a serverless functions platform?
No. Vercel is an integrated application platform for builds, deployments, CDN delivery, Functions, and data services. Vercel Functions remains a first-class compute service within that wider platform.
Are Vercel Edge Functions still a separate product?
No. The standalone Edge Functions product is deprecated. Vercel directs new projects to Vercel Functions with the Node.js runtime and Fluid compute, or to Routing Middleware for request-time routing; the Edge Runtime remains available for existing use cases.
Does Vercel include databases?
Vercel lets teams provision and connect databases through Marketplace integrations, but external providers operate those databases. Vercel’s first-party data services include Vercel Blob object storage and the Global Config key-value store.
Does Vercel support Python serverless functions?
Yes. Vercel provides a Python runtime for Vercel Functions, so Python functions can be deployed alongside supported framework applications. Runtime availability and feature maturity can differ from Node.js.
How does Vercel pricing work for a typical app?
Vercel combines a plan with included infrastructure usage and metered overages. Hobby is $0 per month and Pro is $20 per month, with Pro usage beyond included credit billed separately.
Does Vercel include a built-in WAF or DDoS protection?
Yes. Vercel provides automatic DDoS mitigation across deployments and a built-in firewall. Custom WAF rules are available across plans, while some managed security rules and advanced controls are Enterprise features.
What frameworks does Vercel support?
Vercel supports many frameworks, including Astro, Django, Express.js, Fastify, Next.js, Nuxt, Remix, and SvelteKit. The official framework catalog is broader and includes additional integrations.
Is Vercel free?
Yes. Vercel has a $0 Hobby plan with recurring infrastructure allowances for personal and non-commercial projects. Pro adds team features and higher included usage, with overages billed separately.
