Vercel

Frontend/Next.js deployment Develop. Preview. Ship. The platform for frontend developers, providing the speed and reliability innovators need to create at the moment of inspiration.

Key Features

  • Next.js optimization
  • Serverless functions
  • Global edge network

Deploy

1

Import repository

Import a Git repo; Vercel detects Next.js, React, etc. and sets build config automatically.
2

Automatic deployments

Every push creates a preview URL; production deploys from the main branch.

Serverless & env

API routes in pages/api/ or app/api/ become serverless functions with zero config.
Add env vars in Project Settings; use VERCEL_ENV for preview vs production.

Hackathon tips

  • Next.js is first-class—edge, ISR, and streaming work out of the box.
  • Preview URLs are ideal for sharing with teammates and judges before merge.
