With the exception of a Postgres offering (they went with SQLite) and what sounds like some sort of built in CMS, Cloudflare has all of this. I don't mean in a glue together your own Dropbox way but in a nicely integrated verify your GitHub profile, pick a repo, get automatic deployment and serverless functions that just work way. The same way Vercel is being described.
My understanding is that Vercel is built on top of Cloudflare and charges a significant premium.
Presumably people are paying that premium for the unspecified "nifty performance optimizations" for Nextjs and not for the CMS and Postgres. Has anyone gone from Cloudflare to Vercel that can speak to the differences they found?

- vnphanquang 3y agoVercel is great, the setup is easy and overall dev workflow is very nice. And maybe the best thing about Vercel is its dev team is very active in terms of pushing features and reaching the public. However, I agree with what you said that it does "charge a significant premium". I've switched to cloudflare for a recent project and been happy with it. Right now for me, if it's work-related and company has the resources and finance, go with vercel. For personal projects & freelancer work, stick to cloudflare.
