Deployment platform from the Next.js team, optimised for frontend frameworks.
Why we recommend it
Zero-config deployment with a global edge network, and the tightest possible integration if you are already using Next.js.
Strengths
- Effectively zero-config deployment
- Fast global edge network
- Strong free tier
Drawbacks
