Is Vercel the new Heroku?

<p>Just a few years back, application deployment was a conundrum that only the bravest souls dared to tackle. All that muckety-muck about building, scaling, and maintaining apps could make your brain spin faster than a fidget spinner on overdrive.</p> <p>Enter Heroku, the gallant knight of the cloud PaaS sector, simplifying deployment so effectively that it soon became the gold standard, with&nbsp;<a href="https://www.salesforce.com/news/stories/heroku/" rel="noopener ugc nofollow" target="_blank">26 million apps</a>&nbsp;finding a cozy home there as of 2021.</p> <p>But here&rsquo;s the twist.</p> <p>A new-ish kid on the block,&nbsp;<a href="https://vercel.com/about" rel="noopener ugc nofollow" target="_blank">Vercel</a>, has sauntered onto the scene, catching eyes and turning heads faster than you can say &lsquo;deploy.&rsquo; And this audacious contender isn&rsquo;t just talking the talk but walking the walk, hosting&nbsp;<a href="https://vercel.com/about" rel="noopener ugc nofollow" target="_blank">millions of deployments daily</a>, with bigwig clients like Airbnb and The Washington Post in its corner.</p> <p>Sounds like the plot of a Silicon Valley drama, doesn&rsquo;t it?</p> <p>But this is no screenplay &mdash; or maybe I&rsquo;m just being melodramatic from too much coffee but&hellip;it&rsquo;s the real-life evolution of the PaaS landscape, and it&rsquo;s as riveting as it gets. So, what&rsquo;s Vercel&rsquo;s secret sauce? And can it really knock Heroku off its high perch?</p> <p><a href="https://medium.com/@PurpleGreenLemon/is-vercel-the-new-heroku-9c5deced261c"><strong>Read More</strong></a></p>
