If you use Next.js, Vercel is the easiest way to deploy. No config needed, and it gives you a preview URL for every branch. In a monorepo it works well too. We run many apps from one repo, each app is its own Vercel project, and with turbo-ignore only the app you changed gets rebuilt. The preview links are the best part. We check the UI on a real URL before we merge to main.
But keep two things in mind. The Hobby plan is limited for a team. Previews only build for commits from the project owner account, and the deploys are locked to that account. So for real per person access you have to pay for Pro. Also Vercel is only for the frontend and serverless part. It is not for something that runs all the time. If you have a long running WebSocket or a data ingestion process, keep it on a normal server. We run our realtime backend on a separate server and only the Next.js apps on Vercel.
One small thing. With Tailwind v4 in a monorepo, a successful build does not always mean your shared styles are included. Better to check the final CSS.
I rate the solution an eight out of ten. Although Vercel is very user-friendly and easy to understand for deployment, we still haven’t fully explored some features. It would be helpful if Vercel had more guidance or pop-up tips to help users discover and understand all its features.
If someone encounters the same issue, solutions are often available online. Using a product with a large user base makes it easier to debug or tackle challenges. They have excellent documentation that helps you get started quickly and easily. You can log in using GitHub, Google, or email, but logging in through GitHub is convenient because it syncs your GitHub repositories with Vercel. Any repository can be imported to Vercel and deployed from there. I recommend checking out their documentation because it is well-written and easy to understand. Plenty of resources are available online, including videos on how to get started with Vercel. People generally find it quite easy to get started and deploy their projects. Overall, I rate the solution a nine out of ten.
If someone wanted to use Vercel for the first time to deploy a ReactJS or NextJS website, I would definitely recommend using it. Vercel provides a better user experience and easier deployment than other platforms. It is easy for a beginner to learn within a week. Overall, I would rate it a ten out of ten.
