Hydrogen is purpose-built to be used for custom Shopify storefronts, correct. So you're communicating with Shopify's backend using helpers like `useShopQuery` https://shopify.dev/api/hydrogen/hooks/global/useshopquery

As for hosting, you can deploy to Shopify's Oxygen platform (Worker-based), or any other deployment platform that supports Node.js or v8 Worker runtimes.

Will hydrogen have default UI components too? That would increase productivity since you're also using TailwindCSS as well.

Vercel is my go-to choice to deploy my apps and it seems you are trying to support them too.

Yes, Hydrogen includes a large set of commerce-specific primitives https://shopify.dev/api/hydrogen/components. There's is also a full working demo-store that implements these primitives in more complex components https://hydrogen.new/

Yep, we're planning to offer a `@shopify/hydrogen-ui` package with useful components and hooks. That work is in progress but not quite ready.

We have a working prototype of Hydrogen deploying to Vercel, and we need to formalize it into our official documentation: https://github.com/frandiox/hydrogen-vercel-edge
