Vercel

Vercel is a cloud platform for deploying frontend applications, full-stack web apps, APIs, and static sites.

What Is Vercel​

Vercel connects to a Git repository, builds the project, and serves the result globally.

It is commonly used with Next.js, React, static sites, documentation sites, and serverless functions.

How To Use Vercel​

Connect a repository, configure build settings, set environment variables, and deploy from commits or pull requests.

Basic Example​

npm install -g vercel
vercel
vercel --prod

Common Concepts​

  • Preview deployments are created for branches or pull requests.
  • Production deployments serve the live site.
  • Environment variables configure runtime behavior.
  • Domains point users to the deployed application.
