Vercel to Azion Migration Guide
A technical reference for engineering teams moving off Vercel. Covers migrating projects, CDN delivery, preview deployments, Functions, Blob, Edge Config, Firewall, Web Analytics, DNS, certificates, and observability to Azion Web Platform—without cold starts or disrupted releases.
Unified migration path
Map Vercel CDN behavior to Applications, Functions and Fluid Compute workloads to Functions, Blob to Object Storage, and Edge Config to KV Store.
Cold-start-free scale
Move application logic to Azion Functions and run distributed workloads with consistent first-request performance across Azion's global network.
Integrated security controls
Translate Vercel Firewall, Web Application Firewall, bot controls, deployment protection, DDoS posture, DNS, and TLS into Azion security and delivery workflows.

Migrate application delivery without disrupting releases
Translate Vercel projects into Azion equivalents while keeping validation workflows predictable. Rebuild CDN behavior, redirects, rewrites, image optimization, Functions, AI integrations, storage, security rules, DNS, certificates, and observability before shifting production domains. Complete migration guide
Delivery and previews
Map CI/CD, preview deployments, domains, CDN caching, redirects, rewrites, and image optimization to Applications, Cache, Rules Engine, Preview Deployment, and Azion CLI.
Data and storage
Move Vercel Blob patterns to Object Storage and Edge Config reads to KV Store while documenting flags, experiments, and low-latency configuration dependencies.
Real-time observability
Translate Observability, Speed Insights, Web Analytics, and analytics add-ons into Real-Time Metrics, Real-Time Events, Data Stream, and Edge Pulse workflows.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is Azion a good Vercel alternative?
Yes. Azion is a strong Vercel alternative for teams that want application delivery, distributed functions, object storage, key-value data, security, DNS, analytics, and observability on Azion Web Platform with cold-start-free scale.
How do Vercel projects map to Azion?
Vercel projects and production deployments map to Azion Applications and Functions. CDN cache behavior, redirects, rewrites, headers, and routing can be rebuilt with Applications, Cache, and Rules Engine.
What replaces Vercel Preview Deployments?
Preview workflows can be rebuilt with Azion Preview Deployment and Azion CLI. Use them to validate non-production URLs, application behavior, functions, and configuration before promotion.
What is the equivalent of Vercel Functions and Fluid Compute?
Vercel Functions and Fluid Compute workloads map to Azion Functions. Teams can translate server-side logic, API routes, environment variables, and backend integrations into Functions and validate behavior before domain cutover.
How do Vercel Blob and Edge Config migrate to Azion?
Vercel Blob maps to Azion Object Storage for application files, uploads, documents, images, and videos. Edge Config maps to KV Store for low-latency reads such as feature flags, experiments, redirects, and configuration.
How do Vercel AI workloads map to Azion?
AI SDK and AI Gateway patterns map to AI Inference, Azion AI Client, Azion Lib, and Functions depending on the application architecture, model routing, streaming behavior, and observability requirements.
How do Vercel security features map to Azion?
Vercel Firewall maps to Azion Firewall and Rules Engine. Web Application Firewall maps to Azion Web Application Firewall, bot controls map to Bot Manager, deployment protection can use Firewall and Network Lists, and DDoS posture maps to DDoS Protection and Network Shield.
How do Vercel domains, DNS, and certificates migrate?
Custom domains, DNS records, nameservers, and certificate workflows can be rebuilt with Azion Domains, Edge DNS, and Certificate Manager. Validate certificate issuance and routing before moving production traffic.
What replaces Vercel Observability, Speed Insights, and Web Analytics?
Vercel Observability maps to Real-Time Metrics, Real-Time Events, and Data Stream. Speed Insights and Web Analytics map to Edge Pulse and Real-Time Metrics for user experience and traffic visibility.
Can I run Vercel and Azion in parallel during migration?
Yes. You can rebuild delivery, functions, storage, security, DNS, TLS, and observability on Azion while keeping Vercel active, then shift production domains gradually after validation.
