Vercel is the company behind Next.js and one of the simplest ways to deploy a Next.js app. The workflow is straightforward: push to GitHub, get an instant preview URL. Merge to main, get production. It handles edge functions (serverless at the edge), automatic image optimization (next/image), built-in analytics, and preview deployments for every PR. The free Hobby tier is enough for most projects. Pro adds team features and permissions. If you want a self-hosted alternative that still feels like a modern PaaS, compare Vercel to Coolify.
