# Surge

A static web publishing tool that lets front-end developers deploy HTML, CSS, and JS to a CDN via a single command-line upload.

**Route:** surfaced by the Web Application and Frontend Hosting Platform lane's de-branded queries → competitor to vercel.com.

**Why it's on the map:** Sells the same static-site deployment and hosting to the same front-end developers who evaluate the anchor for publishing web apps.

**Receipts** (verbatim from its page this run):

> Simple, single-command web publishing.

> Surge makes it easy for developers to deploy projects to a production-quality CDN

> Publish HTML , CSS , and JS for free, without leaving the command line.
