Vercel builds, deploys, and runs TanStack Start apps through Nitro. Push to Git and every change gets its own preview deployment, while server code runs as Vercel Functions on Fluid compute.
"Vercel has just completely scaled with that usage. We've never had it fall over due to capacity or had to provision anything extra." - Andy Yoon, Lead Frontend Engineer at OpenEvidence

Vercel is strongest when preview workflows, Git-based deployment, global delivery, and serverless compute are central to how your team ships.
Once Nitro is configured, Vercel detects TanStack Start and supplies the build command and output settings for you.
Every push gets its own deployment URL, so a branch or pull request can be reviewed running in production-like conditions.
The Nitro Vite plugin compiles your server code into Vercel Functions. They run on Fluid compute by default and scale automatically.
Responses are served from Vercel’s global points of presence, with regions you can configure per project.
Every deployment keeps its own immutable URL. Promote an earlier deployment to production when you need to roll back.
Managed WAF with configurable firewall rules, plus TLS/SSL encryption and HTTPS certificates on every plan.
Clients keep talking to the deployment version they loaded, so in-flight sessions do not break mid-deploy. Included on Pro.
Route model traffic through AI Gateway and run untrusted or agent-generated code in isolated Sandbox environments.
The TanStack CLI adds the Vercel deployment setup while it creates your app, including the vercel.json that makes framework detection explicit.

Quotes from engineers and founders running production workloads on Vercel.
"We needed a quality product for a quality product. We evaluated other options, but really Vercel was a no-brainer."
"We try not to reinvent infrastructure we don’t have to. We’d rather spend that engineering energy on the product."
"With Vercel, I was able to quickly set up wildcard subdomains for my users and upsell them with custom domains."
