Use when

You are deploying a Next.js or React app and want zero-config deployment with great performance globally.

Skip when

You need to run long background jobs or heavy server processes - Vercel serverless functions have execution time limits.

Works fine from Africa for deployment and management. End-user performance in Nigeria depends on CDN edge nodes - consider Cloudflare in front for last-mile optimization.
