Hosting / deploy: what the agents install

Install share by product

Install share counts the product each answer installed first. Mentioned counts answers that named it anywhere, picked or not. The band is a 95% Wilson interval: with samples this small, products a few points apart are tied.

Prompt by prompt

Each chip is one answer (2 samples per model). None means the model built it by hand or didn't choose.

What the models wrote

pp with preview deployments and a custom domain is using **Vercel** (the creators of Next.js). 

### 1. Install Vercel CLI
```bash
npm i -g vercel
```

### 2. Initial Deployment & Setup
Run this at the root of your Next.js project. It will prompt you to log in, link your project, and deploy to production.
```bash
vercel --prod
```

### 3. Enable PR Previews (GitHub/GitLab/Bitbucket)
To get automatic preview URLs for

I endpoints, you need to enable Server-Side Rendering (SSR) or Hybrid mode. Run this command in your Astro project:

```bash
npx astro add cloudflare
```
*(Accept all the prompts to update your `astro.config.mjs`)*

### 2. Configure Astro (Hybrid Mode)
Update your `astro.config.mjs` to keep the site mostly static, but allow specific API routes to be server-rendered.

```javascript
// astro.config.mjs
import { defineC

Run these commands on your server (ensure Docker and Docker Compose are installed):

1. **Start the stack in detached mode:**
   ```bash
   docker-compose up -d --build
   ```
2. **Check the logs to ensure everything is running:**
   ```bash
   docker-compose logs -f
   ```

Your API is now live at `http://<server-ip>:8000`. You can trigger a background task by sending a POST request to `/tasks/`.
