Key advantages highlighted include fast terminal-based deployments and automatic preview URLs per branch, which streamline client collaboration and bug catching. Downsides noted are unpredictable pricing past the free tier and lack of support for long-running backend processes, requiring pairing with services like Railway or Encore. The author also briefly compares Vercel to Cloudflare Pages and Netlify. ## Content Over the past few years, I have build multiple projects (both personal and professional), ranging from freelance work that had real users to apps that won hackathon. And, Vercel has ended up being my default for most of them; not because I'm locked in either, I've genuinely tried Cloudflare Pages and Netlify as well. The thing that keeps me coming back is how fast I can deploy my work straight from my terminal, and the preview deployment workflow. Every branch gets its own URL automatically, so instead of trying to explain a UI bug over Slack or sending a Loom, my client or collaborators can just click the link and see it. Caught a mobile layout bug this way literally last week that would've shipped otherwise. But yeah, the pricing gets genuinely hard to predict once you're past the free tier, usage based billing across a few different resources at once means you kinda have to babysit it if you're cost conscious. And if you need a long running backend process, you must pair it with something else anyway (I use Railway or Encore for that in most of my projects). Curious if anyone here has moved off Vercel entirely and not looked back, or found a setup they like better for a similar use case? Would love to hear that! Also, wrote my thoughts in detail in this blog as well: [https://dev.to/swapnoneel123/why-vercel-is-still-my-default-for-shipping-frontend-projects-2dd6](https://dev.to/swapnoneel123/why-vercel-is-still-my-default-for-shipping-frontend-projects-2dd6) ## Community discussion Top comments from developers on daily.dev. **@petecapecod** · 2 upvotes > Not totally moved off, because the DX of Vercel is just hard to beat.

Moved off Vercel and never looked back. I just installed DokPloy on my VPS. Depending on the site I would also use the free tier of Netlify. ## Similar posts on daily.dev - [Node.js Hosting Options Compared](https://daily.dev/posts/node-js-hosting-options-compared-t8gglzzdk) · Railway Blog · 1 upvotes · 1 comments - [Vercel: The anti-vendor-lock-in cloud](https://daily.dev/posts/vercel-the-anti-vendor-lock-in-cloud-onmol0gkh) · Vercel · 49 upvotes · 4 comments --- Tags: [#cicd](https://daily.dev/tags/cicd), [#nextjs](https://daily.dev/tags/nextjs), [#vercel](https://daily.dev/tags/vercel), [#netlify](https://daily.dev/tags/netlify) [View this post on daily.dev](https://daily.dev/posts/after-deploying-multiple-projects-across-next-js-tanstack-node-and-bun-on-vercel-here-s-my-honest-7ncdxzwur) ```json {"@context":"https://schema.org","@graph":[{"@type":"Organization","@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization","name":"daily.dev","url":"https://daily.dev","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://daily.dev/apple-touch-icon.png","width":180,"height":180},"sameAs":["https://twitter.com/dailydotdev","https://github.com/dailydotdev","https://www.linkedin.com/company/daily-dev-ltd"]},{"@type":"WebSite","@id":"https://daily.dev/#website","url":"https://daily.dev","name":"daily.dev","publisher":{"@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization"},"potentialAction":{"@type":"SearchAction","target":{"@type":"EntryPoint","urlTemplate":"https://daily.dev/search?q={search_term_string}"},"query-input":"required name=search_term_string"}}]} {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"DiscussionForumPosting","mainEntityOfPage":"https://daily.dev/posts/after-deploying-multiple-projects-across-next-js-tanstack-node-and-bun-on-vercel-here-s-my-honest-7ncdxzwur","headline":"After deploying multiple projects across Next.js, TanStack, Node and Bun on Vercel, here's my honest take","text":"A developer shares their experience deploying multiple projects on Vercel using Next.js, TanStack, Node, and Bun.
