(00:00) Deploying to Vercel using Vercel tech or ecosystem, which is open‑source—Next.js, other frameworks—a lot of default things are happening behind the scenes that make your deployment just fast. For example, knowing where something is happening is, for many complex systems which enterprises are using, a challenge. (00:24) If we’re going to talk about the enterprise—oh boy, we have something really big this time for enterprises.
[Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] Hello and welcome to the Next Gen Web podcast, where we explore web performance, architecture and innovation. I’m joined here with my colleague Igor, who is a software engineer, and Dom from Vercel. (00:56) My name is Hubert and I’m head of delivery at Blazity. Dom, can you introduce yourself?
Hi, thank you first of all for having me. My name is Dom and I’m a solutions engineer—solutions architect—working for Vercel for more than three and a half years. I think we can easily go through the main points of your career. Okay. (01:24) Thanks. Things that you are proud of or you would like to share with us—like how come you finally became a solutions architect at Vercel? Yeah, because I don’t have grey hair, you know,
so I’m not a fully fledged architect yet. However, I do have quite a lot of experience under my belt. I joined Vercel more than three and a half years ago. I joined as an engineer but I pivoted to the professional services team—which we’ll probably touch on later on. I specialize in Next.js, e‑commerce, web performance and a little bit of SEO, and for the last few years Gen AI as
well, and I’ve worked mainly with enterprise customers. If my question will be what’s the most unusual or different thing about working for Vercel—is there something like this, is there any magical power at this work for you? That’s an interesting question. More? Most difficult? Well …
I think Vercel is moving really fast as a company. We’ve got many products and a lot is happening. (02:43) We’re shipping fast. Recently we had Vercel Ship—we’re probably going to also talk about it. The hard part is the high bar, high level of all the engineers at Vercel. So for me personally when I joined I had this impostor syndrome: Vercel hiring from the industry a lot of celebrities from the development world and,
you know, and then they hired Dom—who is coming from Kraków, Poland—and that was like a clash of things for me in the beginning, but after three and a half years I think I’m doing okay. So taking the whole experience you mentioned—I think there’s a question that’s very common in, like, the world of for instance X communities or just project maintainers that aim to achieve
some open‑source audience goal: what is, in your opinion, the biggest difference between enterprise clients and medium‑sized businesses? That’s a really good question. (03:51) So you touched on X and social media. The most visible presence in my opinion is that you’ve got devrels, you’ve got pushing new products, new open‑source projects,
