Vercel

We're using Vercel to host both our landing page and the install script endpoint — and honestly, it just removed every piece of friction we expected to deal with. A few things stood out over the alternatives: - Zero-config deploys from Git — push to main, it's live. No pipeline to babysit. - Edge network out of the box — the install script (curl … | sh style) needs to feel instant from anywhere in the world, and Vercel's edge handled that without us configuring a CDN. - Preview deployments per PR — being able to share a live URL for every change made iterating on the LP way faster. - Custom domains + automatic HTTPS — set once, never thought about it again. We looked at Cloudflare Pages and Netlify too, both solid, but Vercel's DX around Next.js and the speed of the dashboard tipped it. For a small team shipping fast, that compounds.

Quiver is multi-tenant with a subdomain per workspace, so routing is the hard part, not the app. On Vercel the framework and the platform are the same thing. Host-based middleware decides which workspace you're in, AI responses stream from the default runtime with no special setup, cron runs the scheduled work, and when someone creates a workspace I attach its domain through the API and the certificate handles itself. The alternative was operating that myself: a proxy layer for subdomains, certificate automation, a scheduler, and somewhere to stream from. None of it is the product. Preview deploys turned out to matter more than I expected. Every change to the marketing site gets a real URL before anything goes live, which is the same discipline Quiver asks of your content.

Honestly, it came down to Vercel being the path of least resistance for Next.js It's built by the same team, so App Router, server components, and streaming just work with zero config. Preview deployments on every PR changed how we ship: every branch gets a real URL we can smoke-test before merging, and database migrations run as part of the deploy. We also lean on built-in cron jobs and serverless functions, so we never stood up separate infra for background work. Netlify and Cloudflare Pages are solid, but with both we'd have been the second-class citizen on Next.js features and debugging edge cases. With Vercel, the framework and the platform never disagree — that's the whole pitch.
