Vercel is a cloud platform optimized for front-end frameworks and static sites. It offers a seamless environment for developers to deploy, manage, and scale their web applications with minimal configuration.

Pricing

Vercel offers a range of pricing plans, starting with a free tier and scaling up to paid options that begin at $20 per month.

Things To Consider

AWS Alternative

It acts as a great alternative to AWS EC2 for deploying web applications.

Comparison

On AWS, you would need to set up an EC2 instance, configure networking, and manage scaling. With Vercel, you simply connect your Git repository, and your Next.js app is automatically deployed to a global network with built-in scaling and serverless functions. This allows you to focus entirely on writing code while Vercel takes care of the rest.
