Vercel operates a cloud platform for frontend developers that enables deployment and hosting of web applications. The company was founded in 2015 by Guillermo Rauch and is headquartered in San Francisco, California. Originally launched as Zeit, the company rebranded to Vercel in 2020.

Vercel's platform specializes in hosting static sites and serverless functions, with particular focus on React, Next.js, and other JavaScript frameworks.
