Who is this best for?
This is the fastest way to decide whether Vercel Functions is in the right neighborhood.
Best for
- Frontend/web teams shipping product features quickly
- Next.js-style apps where functions are part of the framework workflow
- Lightweight APIs and request/response workloads
- Teams that accept platform coupling for speed
Who should avoid
- You need deep event triggers, queues, and cloud-native integrations as the default
- You need fine-grained infra control or portability as a primary constraint
- Your workload is sustained and heavy enough to hit cost/limit cliffs quickly
