# Vercel alternative for backend, servers and apps

> Vercel alternative on your own EU servers: frontend plus backend, databases, mobile apps and store releases — not only Next.js at the edge.

Vercel is good at one thing: getting a JavaScript frontend to many locations quickly. Preview URLs just work. The network behind that, we do not copy.

It gets messy in the second product. The same people now run an API, secrets live in three dashboards, and nobody can name the machine that holds the database. Vercel is not wrong then — it is just no longer the whole setup.

We do not replace Vercel feature for feature. If you only ship Next.js, stay. If you want to see the server the rest runs on, you end up here.
