Why Vercel
Section titled “Why Vercel”Vercel is our platform for frontend applications (Next.js, Astro) and static sites with occasional serverless functions. It provides instant preview deployments and a simple deployment pipeline for frontend-focused projects.
When to use Vercel
Section titled “When to use Vercel”Use Vercel when the application is primarily a static or frontend app, potentially with lightweight serverless functions.
Do not use Vercel for compute-heavy workloads or full backends. Vercel’s pricing becomes expensive when serverless functions run frequently or for extended durations. Use Scalingo for that instead.
Organization
Section titled “Organization”We operate under a shared Vercel organization. All projects must be created inside the organization, not under a personal account.
Preview deployments
Section titled “Preview deployments”Preview deployments can be enabled. Each PR automatically gets its own preview URL, which is useful for QA and design reviews.
Important: project visibility
Section titled “Important: project visibility”Do not deploy confidential or private projects to Vercel without checking visibility settings. Vercel does not allow locking production deployments away from public access on all plans. If the project contains sensitive content that must not be publicly accessible, use a different platform.
