Vercel is a proven option for teams building modern web and AI-powered applications, especially on Next.js. Its v0, AI SDK and AI Gateway let teams go from prototype to production on one platform. Buyers should still model usage-based costs at scale and review the April 2026 security incident and the fixes Vercel made afterward during security due diligence.
