Overall Satisfaction with Vercel

Our organization uses Vercel for website and lambda hosting. They provide us with infrastructure for hosting our multitude of websites & platforms, and their serverless systems allow us to deploy changes quickly. We've configured automatic deploys to sync changes from GitHub onto our production websites. We also use Vercel for some DNS management on a few of our domains.

Pros

  • Static Hosting
  • Serverless Functions
  • Deployment
  • Integration
  • Developer Experience

Cons

  • Storage Integration
  • Reduced amount of staff time required to deploy applications and websites
  • Improved staging environments by automatically deploying changes on pull requests
  • Allowed for collaboration from members of the open source community with strong git integrations
Vercel's good usability and developer experience make me happy to visit their website when I need to configure my deployments. It's very easy to navigate, configure, and manage my projects, and the developer experience is so seamless that I don't have to think much when I push changes to git.
Vercel beats Heroku and DigitalOcean by a mile with pricing. Since Vercel uses serverless infrastructure, we don't pay for servers that don't get used, which is great for smaller platforms. Vercel Support is also very quick to respond, unlike DigitalOcean who took a while to get back to me after they didn't honor platform credits they sent me.

I've had nothing but positive experiences with Vercel, and while their business offering is great, it's also worth touching on their free plan. Their free plan allows me to tinker with web development in my free time without having to worry about paying for a costly linux box. I just link a GitHub repository and it's done!
