Nel complesso, la mia esperienza con Vercel è stata molto positiva. Ho apprezzato in particolare l’ampio supporto a diversi linguaggi di programmazione, l’integrazione con code repository e la possibilità di collegare facilmente servizi esterni, ad esempio per la gestione di database. Trovo molto utile anche la possibilità di acquistare e amministrare i domini direttamente all’interno del singolo progetto, così come la gestione separata e cifrata delle variabili d’ambiente sensibili, che semplifica molto il lavoro in fase di sviluppo e deploy. Un altro aspetto che considero molto valido è il sistema di build automatizzato con passaggio a caldo tra le versioni, insieme alla distinzione tra ambienti di release e testing. Interessante anche la presenza di strumenti per valutare l’esperienza d’uso del servizio ospitato e ricevere indicazioni utili per migliorarne le prestazioni e la fruibilità. Inoltre, la scalabilità dei piani lo rende adatto sia a progetti più piccoli sia a esigenze più avanzate. Tra gli aspetti meno convincenti segnalo invece l’interfaccia grafica, che a mio parere risulta piuttosto dispersiva e carica di funzioni e terminologia tecnica, quindi non sempre immediata per chi è alle prime esperienze. Anche la mancanza di un percorso introduttivo o di una documentazione più guidata passo passo può rendere più difficile comprendere appieno alcune funzionalità e il loro utilizzo corretto.

Pros

Quantità di linguaggi di programmazione supportati. Integrazione con sistemi esterni per la gestione, ad esempio, di database. Integrazione con code repository. Possibilità di acquistare ed amministrare i domini direttamente dentro alla sezione dedicata ad ogni progetto. Sistema per la valutazione dell’esperienza d’uso del sistema hostato sulla piattaforma con consigli per l’ottimizzazione della fruibilità. Gestione separata e cryptata per le variabili d’ambiente sensibili come token. Swap a caldo tra le build e sistema di compilazione automatizzato. Differenti endpoint per le versioni release e testing. Scalabilità dei piani proposti.

Cons

Interfaccia grafica molto dispersiva, carica di funzioni e terminologie specifiche del settore difficilmente utilizzabile da neofiti. Troppi sotto menu. Assenza di un tutorial o di una documentazione strutturata passo passo di cosa alcune funzioni possono offrire o come siano da utilizzare.

One of the major benefits of Vercel is, it helps do website hosting at a reasonable cost. This makes it the first choice for developers working with budget constraints and early stage developers.

Pros

Vercel really shines when it comes to security and performance. Their hosting infrastructure is very reliable, which gives me peace of mind for my projects. The best part? You get all of these in very afforable pricing. The Free Plan is really a life-saver.

Cons

It's not all perfect though. During my recent project, I ran into some limitations with their edge functions. Unfortunately, this meant I had to look for alternatives for that particular project.

It gave me basic idea about deployment and hosting of frontend, I learned lots of technical keywords and feature about deployment through it, like CI/CD, auto scaling, etc.

Pros

It is beginner friendly, as it gives git bash deployment. As well as it had easy on click CI/CD pipeline integration with makes deployment fast and automated.

Cons

It had limited backend support and was best suited for frontend applications.

I have two commercial projects which currently run fine locally, on digitalocean app platform, and netlify. They both built and deployed on vercel, but were plagued with runtime issues looking for magical paths that are in none of the local builds we can produce. Their support just responds with pre-canned responses and doesn't pay any attention to what you tell them, and will ultimate want you to provide a minimal repo to reproduce the issue, when you're failing project is right in front of them and the stack traces are pointing to code that is nowhere to be found in your own builds.

Pros

It was good for a hobby project in the free tier. For a quick try out, it passed muster and seemed ok.

Cons

Their CI injects 'optimizations' in your code that you can't debug. The charge an absurd fee to have password protected sites. Their support was terrible.

My overall experience with Vercel is really great. I've hosted dozens of Next.js projects there without any major issues and most of them for free. Although, I wish they had a pay-on-the-go plan without a fixed pricing.

Pros

I really like how easy it is to deploy my Next.js apps on Vercel. You just connect your git repository and in a few minutes your project is online.

Cons

Sometimes the deployments fail without any obvious reasons. Also, I really hate it when a request hits the serverless function timeout limit.

### "Vercel Review"

June 29, 2023

Pros

Makes everything for building and deployment extremely easy, our build times are considerably smaller (Sub 3 minutes) it has a lot of great features we use including Cron jobs and has made building considerably easy

Cons

Pricing, can be a bit expensive, I dont think you need to be on a pricing plan to truly get the good stuff out of Vercel, but if you're scaling you might need to be, things like not being able to run cron jobs more than once a day might be hampering.

I use it to track and managing our company website and mobile application. Managing code with Vercel is quite easy and it will automatically triggers the system anytime there are changes in the codes. Really helpful in managing and tracking any errors in the system.

Pros

Developing and deploying a frontend application using Vercel is is very effective in term of the cost and time spending. Integration with ember.js is smooth and has no issue in compatibility. The ability to shares the live preview of the website to client and team members in a single click really shortening the usual process that are long and stressful.

Cons

It will be confusing on how to use the platform for the first time, as not many guides and manual are available or provided by the software. I need to learn a new features and concept that only available in Varcel and not in other software which make me to spend some more extra hours to fully understand this platform capabilities.
