Vercel / Netlify Deployment & Edge Functions

I set up production-grade deployments on Vercel and Netlify for teams in Dubai, Abu Dhabi, and Sharjah. The core of the service is getting Next.js deployed properly on Vercel — App Router, ISR (Incremental Static Regeneration), image optimisation, and a caching strategy that matches how your content actually changes — or configuring Netlify builds, redirects, and forms for sites that live there. Done right, your marketing site or web app ships globally in minutes per release instead of manual FTP uploads or a fragile VPS.

Beyond the basic deploy, I implement edge functions and middleware: geo-based routing (for example serving AED pricing to UAE visitors automatically), A/B splits, auth gating, and bot filtering that run before your page renders. I also wire up custom domains with correct DNS records, preview deployments so every pull request gets its own shareable URL for your team to review, and environment and secret management split cleanly across development, preview, and production.

Pricing tiers on these platforms confuse a lot of free-zone and mainland SMEs — Hobby vs Pro on Vercel, Starter vs Pro on Netlify, and the bandwidth and function-invocation lines that actually drive the bill. I include a plain-language recommendation of the cheapest tier that safely fits your traffic, with the monthly cost stated in AED.

How it works

1. 1
   Audit

   I review your repo, framework version, and current hosting, then confirm whether Vercel or Netlify fits your stack and budget better.

2. 2
   Configure & deploy

   Build pipeline, edge middleware, caching, domains, and environment variables go in — first on a preview URL.

3. 3
   Go live & document

   We cut DNS over with zero downtime, and you receive a short runbook covering rollbacks, env changes, and the billing tier I recommended.
