Vercel is a platform for deploying the fastest Hugo sites. You can deploy your site with zero configuration to the best frontend infrastructure.

• Preview: Integrate with any GitHub, GitLab, or Bitbucket repository for instant continuous deployment.
• Ship: Deploy your site to every edge node worldwide for the fastest Hugo sites. Static files, Serverless and Edge Functions, and more.

Vercel has integrations for GitHub, GitLab, and Bitbucket to enable CI/CD for your Hugo site with zero configuration. Then, you can run automated tests for performance and reliability on every push. Pull and merge requests are deployed instantly to a unique URL, accessible to your entire team.
