How Vercel wins against Netlify

- Vercel provides "Fluid Compute" and explicit support for "Containers" to run production workloads, offering a clear advantage for complex, isolated application environments beyond serverless functions.
- Vercel's deep integration with and optimization for Next.js provides a streamlined, high-performance experience for developers building with this popular framework, which is not explicitly matched by Netlify's "deploy any framework"…
