    Keep if

    Deploy frontend Next.js/React

    Vercel becomes worthwhile when
    • You use it at least once a week
    • The monthly cost (€17) is small next to the time it saves you

    Challenge if

    Backend lourd — Railway ou Fly.io plus adaptés

    Vercel becomes too expensive when
    • You use it less than once a month
    • A simple free version or a tool already in your stack would do

    The AI angle

    Vercel vs AI

    AI augments this tool
    Go further with AI

    Vercel has become the go-to infrastructure for hosting what AI dev tools generate: tools like Cursor, Lovable or bolt.new produce code that deploys natively on Vercel. The more apps get AI-generated, the more you need somewhere to run them.

    Can AI replace it?

    Replace Vercel with an AI? No, that doesn't make sense: Vercel is hosting and infra (CDN, edge, deployments), not a content generator. Some all-in-one AI builders (bolt.new) bundle their own hosting, but for a serious project that needs to scale, Vercel stays the default choice. Verdict: the explosion of AI-generated code strengthens Vercel more than it threatens it.
