Vercel

Like Netlify, Vercel (formerly known as Zeit) offers a cloud platform for static sites like Gatsby sites and a trigger-based mechanism from Git providers to conduct continuous deployment. Vercel’s offerings include autoscaling, a global edge network, asset compression, cache invalidation, and a zero-configuration developer experience.

Like Netlify, Vercel is most powerful when integrated directly with a Git repository using Vercel’s native Import Flow after connecting the integration to GitHub, GitLab, or Bitbucket. Each code push will trigger a new build and deployment that can be arbitrarily specified to occur only on specific branches or all branches. These will generate what Vercel calls preview deployments, and all modifications made to the master or main branch will facilitate production deployments. Vercel also offers custom domain support via the account holder’s Domain Settings page.
