Reviewer scorecard
“Best documentation in cloud computing. Tutorials alone make it worth recommending. Simple, predictable pricing.”
“Git-based deploys, serverless functions, and the Edge network are solid. Great for static and JAMstack sites.”
“Not for enterprise scale but for startups and indie projects, the simplicity and pricing are unbeatable.”
“Vercel has pulled ahead for React/Next.js projects. Netlify is good but no longer the default choice.”
“Squeezed between hyper-scalers above and serverless platforms below. The mid-market IaaS space is shrinking.”
“Vercel's framework-first approach and AI features are winning developer mindshare. Netlify needs a new differentiator.”
