Vercel

The platform built around Next.js, and the one most of this curriculum's own frontend deploys actually run on — preview deployments per commit, the Edge Network, the rendering-model spectrum (Static/ISR/SSR/Edge), and the exact usage limits (ISR writes, Fast Origin Transfer, function duration) that actually matter once a real app is live.
