Vercel

A hosting service for websites and web applications: it builds the code after each change in the Git repository and serves the result from servers in many regions.

What Vercel is

Written from its maker's own pages, read on 28 October 2026.

Vercel is a cloud platform from Vercel Inc. for hosting websites, web applications and AI agents. It builds a project's code, deploys it, and serves it through a global CDN (content delivery network: servers in many regions that keep copies of the site close to visitors).

A team connects a GitHub, GitLab or Bitbucket repository. Every push starts a new deployment, and every branch gets its own preview URL for review before release. Vercel supports more than 40 frameworks, among them Next.js, Nuxt, SvelteKit and FastAPI. Server-side code runs on demand as functions on Fluid compute, which bills actual execution time instead of idle servers. The platform also adds custom domains, manages DNS records and issues SSL certificates automatically, and it includes a web application firewall and DDoS mitigation (protection against floods of fake traffic). For AI apps it offers the AI SDK and AI Gateway, one endpoint that forwards calls to many models.

Vercel is a hosted service with plans: a free Hobby plan for personal, non-commercial use, a Pro plan billed per developer seat each month with included usage credit, and custom Enterprise contracts.
