Vercel

Deploy a frontend in one command, with previews for every branch.

Visit Vercel Freemium

Vercel made deployment boring in the best way: connect a repository, and every push gets a build and a preview URL. It is built around Next.js but handles most static and serverless frameworks. The free tier is generous for personal projects and includes custom domains and HTTPS.

Where it falls short

Pricing past the free tier is bandwidth and function-invocation based, and a traffic spike can produce a bill that is genuinely shocking.

Alternatives in Developer Tools

  • GitHub
    Where code lives, and increasingly where it ships.
  • Visual Studio Code
    The editor most developers end up in.
  • Supabase
    Postgres with auth, storage, and realtime attached.
