App Building & Devbeginner
Vercel
Definition
A cloud platform optimised for frontend and full-stack JavaScript apps. Connects to GitHub, deploys automatically on every code push, and provides global CDN delivery.
Why it matters
Vercel removes the complexity of server management for most web apps. It's the standard deployment platform for Next.js and the fastest way from code to live URL.
Example
A founder pushes a bug fix to GitHub at 10pm. Vercel automatically deploys it within 60 seconds, no server logins, no manual deployments.
