Verbatim from https://vercel.com/blog/life-of-a-vercel-request-what-happens-when-a-user-presses-enter:

> When developers push code, Vercel’s framework-defined infrastructure analyzes the codebase and intelligently provisions cloud resources. When requests come in, Vercel’s infrastructure instantly routes them to the nearest data center over a high-speed, low-latency network, delivering a response right back to the user.
