Vercel: continuous deployment for modern web applications

Discover Vercel, the platform that ships your web applications in minutes

Vercel is a deployment and hosting platform that automates shipping your web applications, from Git commit to global delivery.

You push your code, Vercel builds and deploys automatically: every branch gets its own preview URL to share with the team, and going to production happens without downtime. As the company behind the Next.js framework, the platform has become a reference for demanding front-end sites and applications.

Vercel is built around four functional pillars:

The goal: let your developers focus on the product, not the infrastructure.

1. Continuous deployment: from commit to production

Connect your GitHub, GitLab or Bitbucket repository and let the platform orchestrate the rest.

  • Deploy automatically on every push, with no pipeline to maintain
  • Roll back to a previous version in one click if something goes wrong
  • Manage environment variables per environment (development, staging, production)
  • Track every build and deployment from a single dashboard

2. The edge network: performance everywhere

Your pages are served as close to your users as possible, wherever they are.

  • Deliver your content from a global network for short load times
  • Run logic close to the user with serverless and edge functions
  • Get HTTPS and domain management without manual configuration
  • Measure real-world page performance with built-in analytics

3. Previews: validate before you publish

Every change becomes a version the whole team can review.

  • Share a unique preview URL for each branch or pull request
  • Have business stakeholders sign off on changes before they go live
  • Comment directly on preview pages to speed up feedback loops
  • Test in real conditions without touching the live site

4. Next.js and the front-end ecosystem

Vercel maintains Next.js and supports the leading modern web frameworks.

  • Get the most out of Next.js: server rendering, static generation, optimised images
  • Deploy your React, Vue, Svelte, Astro and many other projects as well
  • Integrate databases and third-party services from the platform marketplace
  • Organise team projects with roles and permissions

What about artificial intelligence?

Vercel offers the AI SDK, an open source library for integrating language models into your applications, and v0, a tool that generates user interfaces from natural language descriptions. A fast path from AI prototype to production application.
