Is Vercel the new Heroku?

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. Enter Heroku, the gallant knight of the cloud PaaS sector, simplifying deployment so effectively that it soon became the gold standard, with <a href="https://www.salesforce.com/news/stories/heroku/" rel="noopener ugc nofollow" target="_blank">26 million apps</a> finding a cozy home there as of 2021. But here’s the twist. A new-ish kid on the block, <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 ‘deploy.’ And this audacious contender isn’t just talking the talk but walking the walk, hosting <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. Sounds like the plot of a Silicon Valley drama, doesn’t it? But this is no screenplay — or maybe I’m just being melodramatic from too much coffee but…it’s the real-life evolution of the PaaS landscape, and it’s as riveting as it gets.
