Vercel

Vercel is our default deployment surface for modern frontend work. Its value is not just hosting; it is preview deployments, fast Next.js iteration, and a clean path from branch to production.

VERDICT

Worth it for web projects where preview deploys save real time. Watch usage and environment hygiene closely.

Best for

Next.js sites, marketing pages, internal tools, and preview deployments
Client review links where every branch needs a real URL
Fast production deploys with managed CDN, build, and security defaults
Keeping frontend iteration close to GitHub pull requests

Skip if

The project is mostly backend infrastructure with little frontend surface
Usage-based costs are hard to monitor for the client or project
You need platform primitives that are already better handled in Cloudflare
