What people previously said about Vercel

“I interviewed at vercel. It seemed like it was gonna be a tough grind with lots of hours. Honestly would’ve been down for it but didn’t get past the 2nd stage.”

“i love vite, but next.js + vercel protected deployments are sooooo nice.”

“I sent in a support ticket 2 weeks ago, and have not heard from anyone. Then I believe I put one in this week or part of last week, and still have heard nothing.”

“I'd keep Next.js on Vercel and use Render just for the backend, full-stack on Render works but you lose Vercel's Next-specific optimizations.”

“My ISR bills are huge pain as we're having constant deployment. So I remove the ISR from the pages.”

“Vercel made a big deal about Vercel Agent, but I haven’t seen anyone talk about actually using it. Is anyone using it in production, or is it already dead?”

“Vercel plus Render is a fine shape, but for a store the deciding factor isn't which one renders your frontend nicer. It's what your backend does when nobody is using it.”

“Fellow Devs, is it just me or Vercel is better & more friendly than netlify especially for the Free Development Environment package?”

“Vercel is one of the best choices when using Next.js. It makes deploying full-stack apps really smooth and provides easy CI/CD integration.”

“Vercel adds cost and complexity when your backend lives elsewhere.”

“But if you’re using Next.js and expect the project to grow, Vercel for the frontend + Render for the backend can be a better combination. I’d mainly decide based on traffic, backend requirements, database setup, and scalability rather than just using one platform for everything.”

“My Nextjs/Medusa shop is Vercel/Render. I’m on the free tier for both.”

“vercel is really optimzied for hosting nextjs apps. so vercel might be best for hosting frontend and render for backend.”

“Different front ends use it. 4 on netlify and 1 on vercel.”

“Vercel is really nice for frontend/Next.js stuff, while Render gives you more flexibility on the backend.”

“Vercel or Render for website”

“Anyway, I tried it and it scored me down for returning 200 on non existent pages and I should return a 404. Well my site is returning 404s so maybe take the tool with a pinch of salt.”

“Vercel launched a cool tool that checks how agent friendly a site is. I tried it on my project and got 100”

“Fine tuning @vercel @vercel_dev to control costs is not easy! The Pro plan is super complicated with lots of stuff on be default that add up fast.”

“I suddenly cannot connect to my app hosted on vercel.app. it was fine this morning and suddenly "connection refused". Now failed on all vercel.app hosting as well, even the simple public demo.”

“My analytics have not been working for a week. I've posted on the [community site](https://community.vercel.com/t/web-analytics-stopped-working/48352)”

“Vercel analytics down? Seems busted cant find info”

“Vercel image transforms were costing us $150–$250/month, so I vibe-coded an open-source image CDN in one night”

“𝚏𝚡 by @vercel is extremely snappy!”

“do people still use Vercel previews in the age of AI?”

“People love it because everything is set up and just works. But if you instead choose to use your own clanker with the Vercel Plugin you get exactly the same powers”

“When you start a new chat in the dashboard, it's literally just a sandbox + Vercel CLI + stock Vercel CLI skills.”

“Especially with the high price tag Vercel has and commercial requirements pertaining to my product.”

“Thankyouuu @vercel and the Vercel team for supporting my work ❤️😭 10 of my projects are on Vercellll!”

“Would like to try this but the apparent requirement of a credit card (Vercel AI Gateway) and lack of transparency in how to avoid that ever being used is a big fat nope.”

“Yeah, I see the Vercel logo, and I am instantly out.”

“That's it.Everything else in the harness is largely the same just Vercel-flavoured.The portability benefit is also a bit over-sold imho.”

“Does it have anything co-designed around Vercel infrastructure? This is what happened to NextJS and why I will likely never touch Vercel open source again”

“I installed the Vercel app into my GitHub about ~6 years ago. Totally forgot about it. Just created a new Flue agent repository that runs on Cloudflare Workers (of course). Then I get this email... Crazy. Uninstalled immediately.”

“I like it from trying it quickly, but is there any way to use it with a provider other than vercel?”

“Just tried and although it’s not that polished or fast imo it’s very cool.GLM 5.2 totally free even with a free Vercel account.Make business sense too - fx is the entry point to bring more user to Vercel AI.”

“Agreed, I was excited about this until I found To get started, sign in with Vercel:”

“agreed, with Vercel as the only inference provider option, this project is useless”

“Local inference? I see no other way than to sign up for a vercel account, so pass.”

“Why does Vercel have a separate developers account? Isn’t that their whole audience?”

“That seems far more interesting than this “minimal” agent.This was written in zig and built by vercel. That’s the only notable characteristics about this project.All code agents look the same and this one is no different.”

“Man what with Cloudflare, Vercel and all these tech companies just releasing pure slop.”

“The docs seem to imply it only works with vercel’s AI gateway? I guess it cant be configured to use another provider?”

“The harness is a part that's being explored more as many believe it's where we can get some better performance out of the models.This one in particular is from Vercel who provide a service to use models, so they have a vested interest in providing a harness.”

“Is Vercel so all-in on Zig elsewhere too?”

“Is this going to be another Vercel Labs slop project that they will abandon like the others since this is super experimental?”
