Company information
The facts on file
- Description
- Vercel is a managed cloud platform for deploying, scaling and securing web applications, split by the vendor into billed "Managed Infrastructure" (functions, image optimization, blob storage, edge/CDN delivery, builds) and a "Developer Experience Platform" (analytics, observability, deployment protection, SSO, feature flags). It is the company behind Next.js and has served customers since 2015. It targets front-end and full-stack JavaScript/TypeScript teams who want git-push deployment and preview environments rather than a general-purpose VM or container host.
