Best For
One-click deploy for any language/framework — best for long-running agent processes that don't fit serverless constraints
Best-in-class Next.js hosting with Vercel AI SDK — the default for deploying AI-powered frontend apps
Limitations
Smaller ecosystem than Vercel/Netlify; less mature CDN and edge story; costs can surprise with always-on containers; no built-in AI tooling
Vendor lock-in on serverless primitives; cold starts on serverless functions; expensive at scale for compute-heavy AI workloads; free tier has bandwidth limits
