Vercel

Vercel is a leading frontend cloud platform designed to empower developers to build, deploy, and scale web applications with unparalleled speed and reliability. It provides a comprehensive suite of tools that streamline the entire development workflow, from code commit to global deployment. At its core, Vercel integrates continuous integration and deployment (CI/CD) to automatically build and deploy projects upon every code change, offering instant previews for collaborative feedback. The platform is renowned for its deep integration and optimization with Next.js, an open-source React framework, ensuring that applications built with Next.js achieve peak performance and developer experience. Beyond Next.js, Vercel supports a wide array of frontend frameworks and static site generators. It leverages a global Content Delivery Network (CDN) to serve content from edge locations closest to users, drastically reducing latency. Additionally, Vercel's Fluid Compute offers serverless functions, allowing developers to deploy backend logic without managing servers, and its growing AI Cloud provides specialized tools like the AI SDK and AI Gateway to simplify the integration and management of AI models within applications. Security features like DDoS protection, WAF, and bot management further ensure the robustness and safety of deployed applications.
