Developers add a Dockerfile.vercel file and Vercel handles building, storing, deploying, and autoscaling the image using its Fluid compute with Active CPU pricing. Key benefits include preview deployments per push, scale-to-zero, built-in observability, and unified frontend/backend management under one domain. However, containers run as serverless functions with size, memory, and execution duration limits — they scale to zero after five minutes idle, are stateless by design, and durable storage is not yet available. This positions Vercel more directly against Render, Fly.io, and Railway, with the pitch being platform consolidation for teams already using Vercel for frontend work. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
