Vercel's Front-end Cloud: Bridging Frameworks and Infrastructure
Vercel's front-end cloud allows developers to write code in their preferred frameworks while leveraging cloud infrastructure.

This approach is especially beneficial for scaling and enables easy onboarding for new team members. The front-end cloud focuses on providing tools that help front-end developers from writing code to deploying applications worldwide. The goal is to allow developers to focus on the product and user experience while letting Vercel handle the infrastructure aspect.
