Deployment.io vs. Vercel: 4 Reasons Why You Should Consider Deployment.io

Hey there! If your company's cloud infrastructure is running on Vercel, we've got something interesting for you to consider.

Now, we know what you might be thinking: “Another pitch? Thanks, but no thanks. We're quite happy with Vercel.” And we totally get it. Switching platforms isn't a decision to be taken lightly.

But hear us out. We're not here to change your mind right away. Instead, we want to give you a few compelling reasons to think about Deployment.io as a potential alternative.

Let's dive into four key points that make Deployment.io stand out.

100% Flexibility. Zero Vendor Lock-in.

As a startup, it's crucial to make technology choices that won't limit your future growth. While platforms like Vercel offer ease of use and integration capabilities, they can also introduce the risk of vendor lock-in. This can make future migrations more challenging.

Deployment.io, on the other hand, offers unparalleled flexibility. By allowing you to deploy directly onto your own cloud providers like AWS, you can avoid the pitfalls of vendor lock-in.

This means you retain complete control over your deployment environments and can scale more easily as your needs evolve.

You're in Control of Your Data

With Deployment.io, you don't have to worry about your codebase or build artifacts being stored on someone else's servers. Our proprietary runner application takes care of the deployment without storing any of your data. You remain in control, always.

The runner application is installed on your cloud environments and automates various DevOps and infrastructure tasks, such as building and deploying code, CI/CD, creating previews, deleting deployments, and freeing up cloud resources.

And as a sign of our commitment to transparency, we've recently open-sourced the runner application. You can read more about it here.

No Learning Curve. Just One-Click Deployments.

We understand that lean teams don't have the time for steep learning curves. While Vercel requires some learning, it's still preferred over the complexities of managing deployments on platforms like AWS.

Deployment.io simplifies the process, allowing lean teams to create, build, and deploy changes on AWS with just a few clicks. This means you can focus on product development and innovation rather than getting bogged down by complexities learning everything about your cloud platform.

CI/CD Pipelines for All Things Web

Vercel's automated CI/CD pipelines are great for building frontend experiences, like websites and static pages. But what about deploying web services or more complex applications?

Deployment.io has you covered. Our platform allows you to automate CI/CD pipelines for both static sites and web services. Simply integrate Deployment.io with your project's GitHub repo, and you're good to go.

So, there you have it – four compelling reasons to consider Deployment.io as an alternative to Vercel. We're not asking you to make a decision right now, but we hope we've given you some food for thought.
