Vercel has become synonymous with modern frontend deployment. The platform that created Next.js offers the most streamlined path from code to production for web applications.

Key Features:

• Zero Configuration - Push to Git, get a deployment

• Serverless Functions - Backend logic without managing servers

Platform capabilities:

• Framework Agnostic - Optimized for Next.js but supports any framework
