Formerly known as ZEIT, Vercel has a lot to offer in the serverless movement. ZEIT was one of the pioneering companies at the time pushing Serverless technology. ZEIT’s first focus was to ease deployments, which resulted in the creation of Next.js. Some of Vercel’s customers include [AirBnB](https://www.airbnb.com/), [Auth0](https://www.auth0.com/), [GitHub](https://www.github.com/) and the [Washington Post](https://www.washingtonpost.com/). Vercel announced a whopping $21M Series A funding early 2020. ## Vercel Functions Features ### Category FaaS Available Edge Available ### Supported Runtimes Go Available Node.js Available Python Available Ruby Available ### Execution Limits and Resource Quotas Min.

Vercel supports Python serverless functions out of the box. You can deploy Python functions alongside your frontend using the `@vercel/python` runtime or the Serverless Framework. Python functions run as serverless compute in Vercel’s infrastructure alongside Node.js, Go, and Ruby runtimes. Vercel is strongest when paired with Next.js or a frontend framework. It is a PaaS with edge functions and serverless compute rolled into one. Compared to [Railway](https://www.srvrlss.io/provider/railway/) or [Render](https://www.srvrlss.io/provider/render/), Vercel is more opinionated about how you deploy and is designed for frontend-heavy apps. For general backend hosting, Railway or Fly.io give you more flexibility. For edge-only functions, [Cloudflare Workers](https://www.srvrlss.io/provider/cloudflare/) or [Deno Deploy](https://www.srvrlss.io/provider/deno-deploy/) are more cost-effective. Vercel Edge Functions let you run JavaScript/TypeScript code at Vercel’s edge network. They are part of Vercel’s compute layer alongside Serverless Functions. Edge Functions use the Edge Runtime (based on WinterCG standards) for low-latency execution close to users, ideal for authentication checks, redirects, A/B testing, and geo-personalization. Vercel’s free Hobby plan includes 100 GB bandwidth, 100 serverless function invocations per day, and edge function invocations. The Pro plan is $20/month per member and adds higher limits, team features, and no cold boots on Serverless Functions. For most indie apps, the Hobby plan is enough. For team projects with higher traffic, budget for Pro. [See Vercel Functions pricing](https://vercel.com/pricing?utm_source=srvrlss.io&utm_medium=partner&utm_campaign=listing) Vercel includes basic DDoS protection at the network level through its CDN. For a dedicated web application firewall, you typically need a separate WAF provider. Vercel does not offer a managed WAF like [Cloudflare](https://www.srvrlss.io/provider/cloudflare/) or AWS WAF. If WAF is a requirement, you may want to pair Vercel with Cloudflare or use a WAF provider in front. Vercel natively supports Next.js, SvelteKit, Nuxt, Astro, Remix, Gatsby, Hugo, and many other frameworks through its Build Output API. Next.js has first-class support with optimized image handling, ISR, and Edge Middleware. Other frameworks deploy through framework-specific presets or the Serverless Framework. Vercel does not offer managed databases directly. You can use Vercel Edge Config for KV-style data at the edge, Vercel Postgres for serverless Postgres (part of Vercel Marketplace), or connect to external databases like Supabase, Neon, PlanetScale, or Railway. The platform is designed to work with external data services rather than bundling a database. Yes. Vercel has a free Hobby plan that includes 100 GB bandwidth, 100 serverless function invocations per day, edge function invocations, and one concurrent build. It is generous enough for personal projects, portfolios, and small apps. The Pro plan at $20/month per member adds team features, higher limits, and zero cold boots on Serverless Functions. Vercel supports Node.js, Go, Python, and Ruby for serverless functions. Edge Functions support JavaScript and TypeScript via the Edge Runtime. Framework support is Vercel’s strength: Next.js, SvelteKit, Nuxt, Astro, Remix, Gatsby, Hugo, and dozens more deploy with zero configuration.
