Astro on Vercel
Vercel publishes its own guide for deploying Astro.
Content-focused framework that ships zero JavaScript by default and renders components from several UI libraries.
What Astro needs.
Every host claims to run Astro, so the claim on its own decides nothing. These are the things Astro actually requires from the platform underneath it, and what Vercel publishes about each. Vercel documents 3 of the 4.
Build minutes
Not documented
Astro prerenders by default, so most of the work happens at build time and the build allowance is the real constraint.
Concurrent builds
Pro: up to 500 concurrent deployments with on-demand concurrency, or 3 if on-demand concurrency is off
A content site rebuilds on every edit. One build slot turns a busy publishing day into a queue.

“**Pro:** Up to 500 concurrent deployments with on-demand concurrency (3 if on demand is off). You are billed for the build minutes you use.”

Edge network
Supported
A prerendered Astro site is a directory of static files. After that, the only thing left that affects speed is where they are served from.

Git deployment
Supported
Astro's usual workflow is a push that triggers a build. Anything else means wiring the build yourself.

“Some resources include an amount of usage your projects can use within your billing cycle. Pro teams also receive a monthly usage credit and can use many resources on demand. If you exceed an included amount or credit, Vercel charges for the extra usage.”

Whether it suits you.
Teams building on a framework the CDN understands natively, who want a predictable per-seat cost with metered usage on top. The Git integration covers GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket and Azure DevOps, so it drops into an existing review workflow.
Consider something else if…
The team is large enough that $20 per developer seat dominates the bill rather than the metered usage underneath it.
