Vercel
Deployment platform behind Next.js. Git push to deploy. Edge functions, image optimization, analytics. Free tier is generous. This site runs on Vercel.
Vercel is where this site is deployed. It's the company behind Next.js and the leading platform for frontend deployment. The workflow: push to GitHub, get an instant preview URL. Merge to main, get production. It handles edge functions (serverless at the edge), automatic image optimization (next/image), built-in analytics, and preview deployments for every PR. The free Hobby tier is enough for most projects. Pro is $20/mo for team features. I've deployed every DevDigest project on Vercel - it's been the most reliable infrastructure in my stack for over 2 years.
