Cloud//Vercel

Cloud platform for deploying web applications. Created by the same team behind Next.js — the platform and the framework are designed to work together.

Deploys frontend (static + SSR) and backend (Vercel Functions) from the same project

Under the hood, functions run on AWS Lambda — container-based, with cold starts but longer execution times than Workers

Better suited for full-stack apps that need heavy backend logic, PostgreSQL with pgvector, or long-running computations

Integrates natively with Neon and Supabase for database
