Reviewer scorecard
“Git-based deploys, serverless functions, and the Edge network are solid. Great for static and JAMstack sites.”
“The lingua franca of infrastructure as code. Provider ecosystem covers every cloud service imaginable.”
“Vercel has pulled ahead for React/Next.js projects. Netlify is good but no longer the default choice.”
“BSL license change was controversial but the tool remains essential. OpenTofu is the hedge if needed.”
“Vercel's framework-first approach and AI features are winning developer mindshare. Netlify needs a new differentiator.”
“Infrastructure as code is table stakes. Terraform's provider ecosystem is its moat and it keeps growing.”
