I Like Cloudflare (NET), Netlify, and Especially Vercel

For back-end app deployments/hosting, I prefer Vercel for ease of use, Netlify a close 2nd, Cloudflare 3rd

Building better worlds. Not all software is dead.

AI tools make it easy to spin-up apps, especially those for internal use. Those apps need to be hosted somewhere.

• Cloudflare (NET) is a way to play that trade in the public markets.

• Vercel (private) will likely go public in 2026 given its size and growth.

• Netlify (private) is far smaller than Vercel, as is Render. Render deployments take forever. I wish my applications that sit on Render all sat on Vercel. Some may migrate to Vercel in summer 2026.
