Comparison
Muerte Cloud vs Vercel
Vercel is built around frontend frameworks and serverless functions. Muerte Cloud runs long-lived processes: WebSocket servers, Telegram bots, ETL jobs and databases that stay warm between requests.
Muerte Cloud and Vercel: side by side
| Capability | Muerte Cloud | Vercel |
|---|---|---|
| Execution model | Always-on containers | Serverless functions with timeouts |
| WebSockets and long polling | Native | Requires external service |
| Background workers | Dedicated service type for long-running background processes | Queues and external runners |
| Managed databases | Postgres, Redis and MongoDB on the private network | Marketplace partners |
| Static frontends | Hosted like any other service, billed from your wallet, with automatic TLS | Core product strength |
When to pick Muerte Cloud

- You want the frontend, API and database billed and deployed in one place.
When Vercel fits better
- You run a Next.js app that leans heavily on framework-specific edge features.
- You need PR preview environments today — on Muerte Cloud that feature is still in development.
Frequently asked questions
- Can I host a Next.js app on Muerte Cloud?
- Yes. Deploy it as a web service with a Node start command, or export a static build and host it as a static site.
