We hold no reseller commission on Vercel. That is what makes the trade-off line above worth reading. It costs us nothing to tell you when this is the wrong choice.

Building with Vercel

Vercel is strongest at preview deployments per pull request and effortless incremental regeneration at scale. We reach for it when that is the property a workload actually depends on, and we say so when it is not.

Integration comes before intelligence. A model that cannot reach your systems of record is a demo with good manners. We hand over with runbooks, tests and a team that knows how it works, not a dependency.

Questions

What is Vercel best at?

Preview deployments per pull request and effortless incremental regeneration at scale.

When would you not use Vercel?

Pricing at very high bandwidth favours a self-managed CDN. We would look at LiveKit or Kubernetes in that situation.

Do you have a commercial relationship with Vercel?

No. We hold no reseller commission on any technology we recommend, which is what lets the trade-off above be stated plainly.

Can you work with our existing Vercel setup?

Yes. We would rather extend and stabilise something that already works than introduce a parallel system your team has to learn.

Working with Vercel?

Tell us the workload and we will tell you whether this is the right tool for it.
