What Vercel is

Vercel is infrastructure for building, deploying, securing, observing, and scaling apps and agents. Connect a GitHub, GitLab, or Bitbucket repository to have deployments run automatically when changes are pushed to its connected branch. The platform combines automatic CI/CD with a global CDN, Fluid Compute, and traffic and performance insights. Supported frameworks listed by Vercel include Next.js, Nuxt, SvelteKit, Nitro, Turborepo, TanStack Start, and FastAPI. Its Marketplace offers integrations for areas such as AI, analytics, authentication, CMS, databases, commerce, and security, with Neon, Shopify, and Resend among its featured options. Vercel also lists AI SDK, AI Gateway, Sandbox, and Vercel Agent. Its Firewall includes automatic DDoS mitigation on every plan and custom rules for logging, blocking, challenging, or rate-limiting traffic. The Hobby plan is free for personal, non-commercial use, with monthly usage caps that cannot be exceeded by purchasing more usage. Pro costs $20 per month for one developer seat, includes a $20 usage credit, and charges pay-as-you-go beyond that credit. Enterprise pricing is custom.
