Vercel
The hosting platform built for Next.js — push your code to GitHub and it deploys automatically.
The Full Picture
Vercel is the company behind Next.js and the most popular deployment platform for frontend and full-stack apps. It provides: automatic deployments from Git, preview URLs for every PR, serverless functions, edge functions, analytics, and a generous free tier. For vibe coders, Vercel is the deployment step — `git push` and your app is live.
The platform handles SSL, CDN, scaling, and environment variables so you can focus on building.
