Reviewer scorecard
“Git-based deploys, serverless functions, and the Edge network are solid. Great for static and JAMstack sites.”
“Docker builds that take 10 minutes in CI complete in 30 seconds on Depot. The speed improvement is dramatic.”
“Vercel has pulled ahead for React/Next.js projects. Netlify is good but no longer the default choice.”
“If Docker builds are your CI bottleneck, Depot eliminates it. Drop-in replacement with massive time savings.”
“Vercel's framework-first approach and AI features are winning developer mindshare. Netlify needs a new differentiator.”
“Remote build infrastructure will become standard. Local or CI builds on underpowered machines make no sense.”
