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.

We were hoping for a better experient with next.js, but were unable to complete the migration. Ultimately, we stuck with Netlify. Netlify actually works. is more cost effective, and has better support.

Reasons for choosing Vercel

We didn't end up choosing Vercel in the end. Netlify ended up being the superior product becuase it actually worked.

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 will use it for a small weekend projects but not for something production ready.

Pros

It's easy to get started if you are using NextJS which is their opinionated framework. They have cool tools for managing monorepos.

Cons

It's quite expensive. We tried to use it to host complex web app, at higher load we had undefined errors coming from their platform which they could not resolve. At that point we transitioned and never look back.

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.

I really love the real time deployment in vercelm once connected to my github, i can push the updates and vercel automatically updates it for me, there are many many useful integrations in vercel that are very helpful and we can share the previews with our team members is very fast and quick

Cons

The in built suggestions can be better explained, maybe a manual, i had to search the web to understand how do i connect my js project. Also it does not have realtime consumption of resources

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.

Was going to move a bunch of my clients over I bought the V0 thinking that I could actually bring over the project because in v0 it tells you you can't bring over a project unless you pay so I bought it and it won't let you bring anything over because you can't host anything because you haven't paid for the hosting over at vercel. And they will not give you your money back there is no refund whatsoever I'm going to dispute this with a credit card company.

Pros

Nothing, it's a total scam rip off company.

Cons

V0.dev if you actually want to use this with your own code you have to buy vercel hosting and then buy v0.dev before you can bring over any of your own code. Otherwise you just wasting your time with some over jealous AI that just goes nuts and starts haphazardly designing code when you don't tell it to do anything burning up all your credits or messages.

I was just running out of credits and I thought I would try v0 and pay for that because the trial doesn't let you bring in any of your own code so there's no point in even trying to evaluate this.

Pros

If you're using a JAMStack framework, Vercel will scale you from startup all the way to enterprise. They have every feature you need when scaling up your app to cater to a global market.

Cons

Their pricing doesn't start too badly, but when you start getting towards their Pro and Enterprise tiers, which happens pretty quickly, they will rinse you dry.

I have improved all areas of development, it would not be honest to deny Vercel the credits.

Pros

I really love Next.js framework,a Vercel product. Their server first development logic has greatly optimised my websites.

Cons

One thing that I dislike about Vercel is their several crucial updates, developers require time to learn a concept to be comfortable with the updates.

the things that i appreciate most about Vercel is its support for popular frontend frameworks, such as Next.js and React. This makes it easy to get started with Vercel, as i can simply deploy my app with a single command.

Pros

easy to get started with, even for beginners. You can simply connect your GitHub or GitLab repository, and Vercel will automatically deploy your website or application

Cons

it is a great platform for frontend developers. However, there are a few things that I would like to see improved, such as its pricing

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.

Pros

Vercel from the start has been extremely easy to use, very high quality, and also beyond fast.

Cons

In the time we have used Vercel, the only con we have ran into is the limits of the free plan. However upgrading to their Pro plan has solved most all of these issues.

Vercel is a dependable, user-friendly, high-performance platform that I wholeheartedly endorse to any developer looking to install and host their websites and applications.

Pros

Developers may easily explore the platform and launch their applications right away because to its user-friendly interface. The manual is highly extensive and offers simple-to-follow step-by-step instructions. Vercel's CDN and global edge network enable exceptionally quick website and application deployment and loading.

Cons

Despite the ease with which Vercel interfaces with other programmes and services, some programmers may find that the platform's limited support for databases and backend services prevents them from creating more sophisticated applications.Although the Vercel platform's support channels, such as email and community forums, are comprehensive and well-written, some developers may find that they are not as responsive as they would like.

Fast and scalable: Vercel is designed to provide fast and scalable hosting for modern web applications, with a focus on the Jamstack architecture. This can result in improved performance and reduced latency for your users.

Pros

Vercel integrates with popular Git platforms like GitHub and GitLab to automatically build and deploy your applications whenever you push changes to your repository.

Cons

Complexity: Some users have found Vercel's interface and documentation to be overly complex, especially for beginners or non-technical users. The platform's powerful features can also make it challenging to configure and optimize for certain use cases.

Deploying Next.js applications before meeting Vercel was a painful experience. Now it's not anymore.

Pros

Vercel created Next.js. So it's no surprise they came out with the best platform to deploy Next.js based web applications.The deploy runs smoothly and without any issue, nothing comparable to any other platform or internal configuration you could have tried.

Cons

Actually, as far as I can see... nothing. Since it is so Next.js oriented, maybe it cannot be the best choice if you just need to deploy a traditional React application. I found it difficult to handle socket based applications, too.

For the basic and standard stuff they offer, they do a good job on. Once your use-case becomes a little more advanced and specific, you are on your own.

Pros

Easy to setup and good integration with github, especially the super quick and easy setup when pushing to a remote branch and automatic build deployments. The interface is also very intuitive and easy to use. Documentation is good.

Cons

Serverless monitoring and APM is severely lacking, even though vercel recommends Datadog and others, they only provide basic log management. There is no good way currently to setup APM. I also think vercel should provide more in house log management on top of the currently supported real time log tailing. Simple storage of logs shouldn't be that hard to achieve, this includes the request and response body of the logs, not the current one where the aforementioned items are left out. Additionally, serverless cold starts are a huge pain. And support for it is severely lacking. The documentation suggests some basics, and to use edge. But edge is hardly useful and highly situational as it does not support node apis. Which means you can't really do much with it. Support ticketing times are also really slow and not helpful, the best they can do is direct you to a documentation page that you have already visited prior to opening the ticket.
