Vercel

What it is

Connect your GitHub repo and Vercel builds and hosts your site on a global CDN. Every git push can trigger a new deployment with a live preview URL. It is how our students go from 'works on my laptop' to a real link they can share.

How it helps you

Deployment used to be the hardest step for beginners. Vercel removes that — push code, get a HTTPS URL in under a minute. Preview URLs let you test before going live.

Key benefits

• ✦ Free HTTPS hosting for personal and student projects
• ✦ Automatic deploys from GitHub on every push
• ✦ Preview URLs for every branch and pull request
• ✦ Fast global CDN — sites load quickly in India and worldwide
• ✦ Works natively with Astro, Next.js and static sites
