Positives

Vercel offers a very nice developer experience with features like CDN, incremental page regeneration, and an image pipeline, which simplifies deployment for many users.
The ease of deployment with Next.js on Vercel is a significant advantage, allowing developers to focus on building rather than infrastructure.
