(I work at Vercel) We are primarily built on AWS hardware and our own software. For example, a custom CDN/proxy¹, build infrastructure², compute³, WAF⁴, etc. – and then take advantage of AWS' network/fiber (like AGA⁵) and their hardware. ¹: https://vercel.com/blog/life-of-a-vercel-request-what-happens-when-a-user-presses-enter https://vercel.com/blog/life-of-a-vercel-request-what-happen... ²: https://vercel.com/blog/a-deep-dive-into-hive-vercels-builds-infrastructure https://vercel.com/blog/a-deep-dive-into-hive-vercels-builds... ³: https://vercel.com/blog/introducing-fluid-compute https://vercel.com/blog/introducing-fluid-compute ⁴: https://vercel.com/blog/preventing-infrastructure-abuse-with-vercel-firewall https://vercel.com/blog/preventing-infrastructure-abuse-with... ⁵: https://aws.amazon.com/global-accelerator/ https://aws.amazon.com/global-accelerator/

Great : from your literature, Vercel's FaaS is basically AWS Lambda with plumbing. Since Netlify appears to be a smaller player (40% of your revenue) and since they similarly don't talk about their stack much, I'm going to presume that they're doing the same thing hehe
