Vercel

The easiest way to deploy a Next.js app.

What is Vercel?

Vercel is a hosting platform made by the same team that built Next.js. You connect your GitHub repo and it deploys automatically every time you push code. Free for small projects, fast, and reliable.

Vercel also gives you preview deployments — every time you push to a branch, you get a unique URL to test your changes before they go live.

In Vibe Coding

Vercel is the go-to deployment platform for Next.js apps built with Cursor. Connect your GitHub repo, and every push deploys automatically. The free tier handles most side projects.

Example

For example: You push a bug fix to GitHub at 2pm. By 2:02pm, Vercel has automatically rebuilt and deployed your site. No manual steps needed.
