Many congrats Vercel! I&#x27;ve been a big fan since Zeit platform version 1 - I remember the transition to platform version 2 was difficult but over time I can see how incredible of a platform you&#x27;ve become.<p>Just a note from a fan - I hope you all can determine a way to approach the future with longevity and corporate independence. The web really needs your entire teams dedication towards performance, end user experience, and developer experience in the coming years. I would love to see Vercel as an independent entity a decade from now and witness how your philosophy changes the web in that time!

I&#x27;m a huge fan of vercel, it&#x27;s saved me a lot of money[1] this year. Their developer experience is incredibly friendly and they&#x27;ve contributed extremely useful libraries to open-source, including micro and next.js. I&#x27;ve had great support experiences for some serious issues like platform bugs. They&#x27;re in a tough position because the serverless paradigm is still foreign to many people, and many typical project dependencies won&#x27;t operate in a serverless environment.<p>I have a set of critiques just like any infrastructure user, but by and large Vercel is moving in the right direction and I&#x27;m looking forward to seeing them succeed!<p>[1] My bill running CollegeAI.com on Kubernetes went from $600&#x2F;mo to $20&#x2F;mo with Vercel. It required a large refactor to serverless and the initial week of deployment the performance was so much better I got a massive traffic spike that increased my traffic from tens to thousands of daily signups. The bill that month was over $1000 because I didn&#x27;t have the serverless parameters set up totally correctly.

Congrats Guillermo and the whole team at Vercel!<p>Initially I was a bit skeptical about Next.js, but nowadays I really like this all-in-one experience. There are still some rough edges, but it&#x27;s understandable given the scope of this project. I&#x27;d love to see more focus on TypeScript, integration with something like esbuild or Snowpack or maybe even a Deno version (there&#x27;s already Aleph.js). What may not be obvious at first glance is their dedication to solve those little, often difficult problems on the web. I like their next&#x2F;image component. I was surprised to see AMP support. Their approach for blending frontend with backend is not only interesting, but practical. The future will be interesting for sure.<p>Contrary to other commenters, I find Next.js docs pretty good. You can see there was a lot of effort put into writing their tutorial. Rough edges are mostly related to everything that supplements the framework, i.e. 3rd party libraries. I think eventually they will be expanding to cover these various scenarios.<p>Also, I&#x27;m working on a 12-week video course about React.js &#x2F; Next.js. When I noticed this announcement on HN, I figured it could be a good way to promote it. ;) It&#x27;s not yet ready (early WIP). I plan to finalize details next week. So if you&#x27;re looking for a React.js&#x2F;Next.js jump-start, check it out at <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;reactnextaz.com" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;reactnextaz.com</a>

Hi, serious question what is Vercel? As a developer, what do I use it for? Back-end as a service? Hosting? Database? from reading their homepage several times and looking at their products I still cant tell... can some explain?

Poor Gatsby. We run a Gatsby site, it was great to setup fast fast fast and has been a pain in the butt ever since.<p>Next, from our limited experimentation, has much better ergonomics and it looks like the company has a stronger grasp on go to market.<p>Crazy how fast that happened

Great!<p>It might sound lame, but:<p>- in early 2000s I couldn&#x27;t live without JavaScript &amp; animated gifs ;),<p>- in late 2000s I couldn&#x27;t live without jQuery,<p>- in early 2010s I couldn&#x27;t live without React,<p>- in late 2010s I can&#x27;t live without Next.js.<p>It&#x27;s an amazing platform and it&#x27;s been an amazing experience. Everything &quot;just works&quot;, and not having to fiddle with webpack or any other build tools is a blessing.<p>I&#x27;m amazed by Next.js, the only thing what worries me a little is we have JS and on top of it sits React and on top of React we have Next.js...<p>Anyway I think I&#x27;ve rediscovered React because of Next.js, I was tired of React at some point and they just saved me from a burnout I suppose.<p>Keep up the good work!<p>I think eventually FB might want to buy them out and merge React with Next.js. I don&#x27;t want to sound embittered but I&#x27;ve had multiple &quot;why wasn&#x27;t this working like that by default in React?!&quot; moments.

From first hand experience - Vercel is pretty magical. I’ve helped my wife develop an e-commerce site for her planetary-themed kids merch [1], we chose NextJS with a Shopify Storefront backend and deployed the entire thing to Vercel. Didn’t even need SSL certs, no fiddling with CDNs, it’s just magic.<p>We are super happy with how it turned out vs dealing with full Shopify front end&#x2F;backend stores.<p>[1] <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;littleastronauts.com" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;littleastronauts.com</a>

It&#x27;s ironic that the blog of next.js creators is not opening when cookies&#x2F;localStorage are disabled. For two years I have whitelisted sites in the main browser and have a separate browser where everything is enabled but cleaned on close, so that I could read broken websites. I hope &quot;the next web&quot; they are building just works in a single browser without cookies&#x2F;tracking at least for blogs&#x2F;news.

&gt; Airbnb’s engineering team, for example, isn’t a heavy user of Next.js yet, but they are a world-class team of designers, engineers, product managers, and marketers.<p>This is a semantically null sentence for the purposes of your article. Skip it and you&#x27;d have the same meaning without sounding like you&#x27;re sucking up to a company.<p>&gt; Hashicorp pushed back on the dogmatism of pure static. Their team is laser-focused on the user experience. They don’t care if an application is CSR, SSR, SSG, etc. as long as their end-user is delighted.<p>This has no meaning to me, personally. If Hashicorp doesn&#x27;t care about pure static as long as their &quot;end-user is delighted,&quot; why did they push back? Was there some kind of drama you&#x27;re revealing? How is &quot;end-user delight&quot; related to any of the acronyms? Are you suggesting pure static pages &quot;delight&quot; fewer users?<p>The writing is pretty bad. Funnily enough, on the webpage they link from the &quot;CSR, SSR, SSG&quot; string doesn&#x27;t contain the words &quot;CSR&quot; or &quot;SSG&quot;, so it doesn&#x27;t explain much unless you have the time to read the whole page.

Had to use Zeit&#x2F;Vercel a few months for a “serious” project that requires SSR, caching and multiple staging environments. As the project progresses I noticed an increasing pain from constantly fighting with outdated documentations and limited configurability. I hope that’s changed now though, because there were some parts of Zeit that we loved. For simpler static sites, it’s hard to beat Netlify.

Shout out to Vercel (formerly Zeit) for their awesome <i>Hyper</i> terminal <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;hyper.is&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;hyper.is&#x2F;</a><p>I love Vercel - it runs several of my Gatsby sites and an Angular website for free. It also builds out my PRs so I can see how the website is changed. If ever I need to use their paid tier, I&#x27;ll do it.

Vercel communications team: I watched your quasi-live streaming presentation&#x2F;announcement several weeks ago, and could barely fathom what anyone was talking about.<p>Was it your intention to completely talk over everyone&#x27;s head by using arcane or invented abstractions? Trying to make investors feel they are onto something really advanced?<p>Or just caught up in VC&#x2F;SV speak? Because products that nobody understands have a harder time taking root in the commons.<p>Edit: Literally there is a question above (top at this time) &#x27;What is Vercel?&#x27; - this is my point, a communications failure. If people Googling &#x27;Vercel&#x27; and not getting the answer very quickly, then it&#x27;s a communications problem.<p>Speak in plain English, describe &#x27;what it is&#x27; and the direct material value.

Personally, I am quite interested in Remix (see: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;remix.run" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;remix.run</a>) which seems to be more flexible and does support not using Javascript in the final output but still leverage the convenience of React (personal opinion).<p>Maybe Next.js would move a bit towards this approach too<p>It&#x27;s not free, though

I love using Vercel. It’s impressive what they’ve built in Open Source and their own product with a relatively small team.<p>Microsoft&#x2F;GitHub could be a good landing spot for them if they are to sell.

NextJS is awesome, but vercel as a business still doesn&#x27;t seem to make sense to me.<p>There is a free tier and then pricing starts at $20&#x2F;user&#x2F;month. For unlimited usage in deploying and consuming static&#x2F;generated&#x2F;rendered content and APIs.<p>iiuc, vercel runs on aws. Isn&#x27;t the math fundamentally flawed on this kind of a business model if it isn&#x27;t backed by owning the compute&#x2F;network substrate first? Egress charges would be brutal. Targetting gross margins of 60-70% sounds like it would be hard.<p>Would love to hear from VC&#x2F;founders with their insights, esp for building dev tools businesses and &quot;monetizing&quot; frameworks which isn&#x27;t something that&#x27;s happened too often (or happened at all recently?)

For the last two projects I really wanted to use Vercel but there is something about its interface that makes me unable to understand it. I ended up both times on Netlify instead. Is it me not being a dev by trade or it happens also to others?
amadeuspagel超过 4 年前
I like vercel and use it for all my projects, but in light of the goal of helping <i>everyone</i> build the next web, I think it would make a lot of sense to enable drag and drop deploy, like netlify. I recently tried to show someone who used windows and had neither node nor git installed how to deploy a static website with vercel, but it was such a pain that we ended up using netlify.
gazelleeatslion超过 4 年前
Congrats to these folks! Absolutely killing it and great product.<p>Hopefully it doesn&#x27;t get harder and harder to use Next.js on anything but Vercel.

Glad to see this because we just started using Vercel for StatusGator.<p>Their API is great: we were able to automate deployments of branded status dashboards very quickly. There are some rough edges around domain name management but overall the experience is very developer-friendly, analogous to Heroku but for a different architecture.

The one thing I dislike about Vercel is that you need to go all in or nothing with it. Say you have a micro-frontend strategy and would like part of your front-end in next.js; you can&#x27;t.<p>Overall I really am impressed with Vercel, though. It&#x27;s been a fun project&#x2F;company to work with.

Congrats! I&#x27;ve been using vercel for a month now and it&#x27;s just so nice and easy to use; without sacrificing performance&#x2F;flexibility. I hope they don&#x27;t lose the ease of use as they get bigger, like so many other similar products

With AWS CDK and Amplify developing at the speeds they currently are, I think businesses like Vercel will have it really hard in the coming years to attract customers.<p>Happy for them though! I&#x27;ve been using them for a long time, but I&#x27;ve also just started learning CDK and Amplify and I think these could provide the same benefits, and in some (very specific) cases with zero costs. This plus databases such as Fauna or DynamoDB, and I wouldn&#x27;t be able to see my self using any other thing for a good long while.

judging by the url (&quot;the next web&quot;) I expected something related to web3 or p2p and then was kinda disappointed to see yet another react framework.<p>Side note: somehow my ISP (vodafone) has problems delivering me this domain, only was able to visit via opera with their vpn enabled.

A very happy customer of Vercel here, and a Next.js user.<p>Vercel makes it really easy to deploy isomorphic JavaScript applications, to the point where I barely have to think about the runtime context. Thinking back to the ~2015 era, it feels like magic in comparison.

I&#x27;m trying to decipher what this is. So far I&#x27;ve learned there&#x27;s a thing called &quot;Jamstack&quot; that seems to be about static websites. How does one manage databases with this technology?

Oh god. Even companies raising $40,000,000 can’t explain what they do:<p>“Vercel combines the best developer experience with an obsessive focus on end-user performance. Our platform enables frontend teams to do their best work.”<p>Nice, inspiring evocative words, but I care to find what the fuck Vercel IS, and this is not an answer.<p>Maybe if I reword the above it will become clear:<p>Vercel lets developers have a really great time concentrating super hard looking super close at how fast things are. The thing we do lets you do the best thing you do.<p>Ah, now it’s crystal clear what Vercel is.

No offense, I think people are crazy to rely on a stack they can easily make themselves vs. a series B startup. It&#x27;s not that difficult to build and deploy full stack apps on your own server.
