Vercel trims builds, deploys for solo builders

This is less about hosting and more about iteration speed as a product feature. When AI is generating most of the code, deployment latency becomes part of the feedback loop.

• –Minute-scale builds keep the edit-test-ship loop tight, which is exactly what solo AI builders need
• –Preview deployments turn every push into a shareable review surface instead of a private staging mess
• –Vercel’s real edge is DX: Git-based deploys, sensible defaults, and minimal ops overhead
• –The tradeoff is dependency and cost visibility once traffic, build volume, or workload complexity grows
