Vercel
The hosting platform our custom applications run on, with a private preview link for every change before it goes live.
Vercel is a cloud hosting platform for modern web applications. It takes the code your developers write and turns it into a live website or app, served quickly to visitors wherever they are.
It connects to your code on GitHub, so every time a developer saves a change, Vercel builds a private preview link you can open and click through. Nothing reaches your customers until it has been checked and approved. If something does go wrong after launch, an earlier version can be restored without rebuilding.
Vercel also handles the unglamorous work around a launch: your custom domain, security certificates, caching copies of pages close to visitors, and extra capacity when traffic spikes. It is the company behind the Next.js framework, which is why the two work so smoothly together. For a business, that means a custom application that loads fast and does not need a server team to keep it running.
Why Vercel Is in Our Stack
In Practice
We host our Next.js applications on Vercel, including Reno Restaurant Guide. The preview link on every change lets you review real progress as we build, not screenshots, and approve it before launch. Releases stay small, safe and easy to undo.
Review Before Launch
Every change gets its own private link, so you see it working before visitors do.
Fast Everywhere
Pages are served from locations near each visitor, so the site feels quick.
Easy to Undo
If a release causes trouble, the last good version comes back in moments.
