Vercel

The platform for frontend developers, providing global edge deployment, serverless functions, and seamless Git integration.

SYS.DETAIL

OVERVIEW

Vercel is where our web applications live. As the creators of Next.js, Vercel provides the most optimised hosting platform for React and Next.js applications. Every deployment is distributed across their global edge network, ensuring sub-second load times from anywhere in Europe.

Our deployment workflow is fully automated: push to Git, and Vercel builds, tests, and deploys automatically. Every pull request gets its own preview URL for stakeholder review, and rollbacks are instant if anything goes wrong. This CI/CD pipeline means we can ship updates multiple times per day with zero risk.

Vercel's analytics provide real-time Core Web Vitals monitoring, so we can track performance metrics for every visitor. Combined with serverless functions for backend logic and edge middleware for authentication and redirects, Vercel is a complete platform — not just hosting.
