Vercel · San Francisco, California, United States
What it is
Vercel provides infrastructure for building, deploying, securing, observing, and scaling apps and agents. Connect a GitHub, GitLab, or Bitbucket repository to deploy automatically when changes reach its connected branch. Its platform includes automatic CI/CD, a global CDN, Fluid Compute, and traffic and performance insights. Listed frameworks include Next.js, Nuxt, SvelteKit, Nitro, Turborepo, TanStack Start, and FastAPI. The Marketplace offers integrations across areas such as AI, analytics, authentication, CMS, databases, commerce, and security, with Neon, Shopify, and Resend among featured integrations. Vercel also lists AI SDK, AI Gateway, Sandbox, and Vercel Agent. Its Firewall provides automatic DDoS mitigation on all plans and custom rules to log, block, challenge, or rate-limit traffic. The Hobby plan is free for personal, non-commercial use, with monthly limits on CDN requests, data transfer, and function invocations; additional usage beyond its caps cannot be purchased on that plan. Pro costs $20 a month for one developer seat and includes a $20 usage credit, with additional use billed pay-as-you-go. Enterprise pricing is custom.
