Glad to see this because we just started using Vercel for StatusGator.

Their API is great: we were able to automate deployments of branded status dashboards very quickly. There are some rough edges around domain name management but overall the experience is very developer-friendly, analogous to Heroku but for a different architecture.

Just to elaborate on that, Vercel is awesome for stateless apps - specially front-end apps. Heroku excels on (small scale) statefull apps - like the back-end app connected to a database (add-on).

In my previous company we used both Vercel and Heroku, which was a great match. Both of them have Review Apps, for example.
