As part of the report, Gartner evaluated 12 Cloud-Native Application vendors based on their Ability to Execute and Completeness of Vision where Vercel placed as the only platform to be positioned a Visionary.
For over a decade, Vercel has helped teams develop, preview, and ship. That commitment shaped the Frontend Cloud, powering some of the most demanding digital experiences on the web. Today, AI is redefining both how and what we build. Interfaces are becoming conversations and workflows are becoming autonomous.
To support this shift, we built the AI Cloud: a unified platform that gives teams the tools to build AI-powered features and applications with speed, security, and flexibility.
The AI Cloud includes foundational tools and infrastructure designed for AI-first development:
AI SDK and AI Gateway for seamless integration with any model or tool
Fluid compute with Active CPU pricing to run high-concurrency, low-latency workloads efficiently
Support for tools, MCP servers, and queues to enable background execution and autonomous actions
Secure sandboxes to safely run agent-generated code
With these capabilities, teams can move fast whether they're building conversational UIs or deploying end-to-end autonomous agents, without worrying about operational overhead.
Our ongoing investment in Vercel's AI Cloud is guided by a goal: to empower you to build and deploy applications with exceptional flexibility, speed, and security. From AI-native startups to global enterprises, we're committed to providing tools that keep you focused on innovation, not dealing with infrastructure management, complicated workflows, or reacting to novel security incidents.
