About Vercel

Vercel is a cloud platform for deploying and hosting web applications, providing infrastructure for building and shipping apps and AI agents. It includes deployment tooling (CLI, API, MCP), sandboxed VM environments, a serverless/fluid compute model, an AI model gateway, and durable orchestration for agent workloads, along with global content delivery and observability.

The platform supports hosting multi-tenant platforms with features such as tenant isolation, domain management, custom SSL certificates, and preview URLs, as well as serverless functions and a web application firewall. It integrates with frameworks including Next.js, Nuxt, SvelteKit, Nitro, FastAPI, and others, and offers SDKs for AI, workflows, feature flags, chat, and queues.

It is aimed at developers and platform engineers building web apps, marketing sites, commerce platforms, and AI-agent-driven applications, including coding agents that deploy through Vercel's API, CLI, and tooling. Vercel also provides identity and access management for agents and deployments through its Passport product.
