Vercel— What’s Your Honest Take?

Question

Vercel is a big name in our community, but I want to hear from real users. What’s great about it? What’s frustrating or could be improved?

Brett Chalmers · Accepted Answer

To get the ball rolling:

- The free tier is pretty generous.
- I do wish they offered better logging and session replays.

Stoyan Korudzhiev · Answer

I totally agree. Vercel’s free tier is a lifesaver, especially for small projects and testing things out. It’s amazing how much you can get done without hitting a paywall.

@brett_chalmers I really love Vercel for how easy and efficient it makes deployments, but if I had to pick something, I’d say a bit more flexibility in their serverless functions would be great. The current execution time and memory limits can feel a bit tight for more complex applications.

Another thing is the 13 GB disk space limit during builds—it’s manageable for most projects, but for larger ones, it can be a bit tricky. It’d be awesome if they could offer more options or resources for projects that need a bit more breathing room.
