Vercel Review
Pros:
Makes everything for building and deployment extremely easy, our build times are considerably smaller (Sub 3 minutes) it has a lot of great features we use including Cron jobs and has made building considerably easy
Cons:
Pricing, can be a bit expensive, I dont think you need to be on a pricing plan to truly get the good stuff out of Vercel, but if you're scaling you might need to be, things like not being able to run cron jobs more than once a day might be hampering.

User friendly

Must have tools for Developer
Comments: I use it to track and managing our company website and mobile application. Managing code with Vercel is quite easy and it will automatically triggers the system anytime there are changes in the codes. Really helpful in managing and tracking any errors in the system.
Pros:
Developing and deploying a frontend application using Vercel is is very effective in term of the cost and time spending. Integration with ember.js is smooth and has no issue in compatibility. The ability to shares the live preview of the website to client and team members in a single click really shortening the usual process that are long and stressful.
Cons:
It will be confusing on how to use the platform for the first time, as not many guides and manual are available or provided by the software. I need to learn a new features and concept that only available in Varcel and not in other software which make me to spend some more extra hours to fully understand this platform capabilities.
Alternatives Considered:
Static site edge serving that works

Pros:
Fast, supports a wide range of static setups, easy to deploy too, easy to use the website, Pull Request review apps.
Cons:
No built in permanent storage system. One build at a time on the free plan.
