Vercel

“Mmmm sounds like mad skill issues, not a vercel maxi but ive used vercel probably since 2022 never had s problem like that currently handling customers with average 8-10 mru never paid more than 40 bucks i dare day”

“And why vercel over cloudfare?”

“right now Vercel provide a fantastic service that saves people days or weeks of configuration but you get people like this complaining that it isn't enough because they don't know what they are doing sorry but no....”

“I’m currently using vercel for my agency hosting frontend site on their, including the frontend of some backend panels, around 25 clients so far, Is it worth migrating to an alternative or not?”

“Do Not shift to Vercel Paid Plan !! I wish I knew this before I started working on Vercel.”

“But I hear great things about the vercel ai sdk. I’m mainly looking for flexibility in model providers, some runtime primitives, prod observability and support for HIPPA etc.”

“You should try to avoid Vercel-dependent tools when possible, because every time you adopt one, it makes a future migration much more complicated, and if your service becomes successful, you will need to migrate at some point if you don't want to throw away money that could be used elsewhere.”

“I made the switch a few weeks ago from Vercel + Supabase to Railway. Went from 50-60$ a month to 5$ a month. Performance also increased a lot.”

“Stick with Vercel as long as you realistically can. When you can't use it anymore move across to AWS or one of the hyperscalers. Don't move to another platform like Vercel.”

“At $60 to $70 a month, I’d prepare an exit path without actually taking it. Set billing alerts, identify which limits would create the first cost jump, keep tested database backups and document how you would move if the economics change.”

“If you frequently updated your code, then I would recommend you to stay on vercel. Also, if you're a technical founder, they you can still consider switching to vps once your costs grows”

“Lets imagine you 10x users and visitors. If it scales linearly then thats $600/mnth for 120k registered users 3.5M visits per month. Thats a bargain.”

“the actual tipping point for us wasn't cost, it was needing control over things Vercel just doesn't expose, custom cron timing, background workers that run longer than serverless limits allow. if you're not hitting those walls yet, 60 to 70 a month is nothing, stay managed and spend the time on the second product instead.”

“We’ve been running our product on Next.js + Vercel and Supabase for Postgres and Auth. It’s been working well. We’re at 350k+ monthly visitors, around 12k registered users, with web, Android, and Windows apps.”

“The vercel link died for this.”

“If your frontend team reached for Vercel's AI SDK (useChat / useObject) and your backend is Rails, you hit a specific wall: the hooks expect their own SSE wire format (the "UI Message Stream Protocol": text-start / text-delta / tool-input-available / finish frames, plus a required response header). Vercel documents Python backends speaking it.”

“Vercel’s free Hobby plan now deletes older, unprotected deployments immediately above 10GB. Some retention protections remain as deployment volumes surge.”

“The idea was: generate an MCP server, host it, add authentication, and give it a temporary domain — basically the same experience as deploying to Vercel, but for MCP.”

“Also add hard budget constraints on vercel!”

“Your fault for hosting on Vercel. That’s like a ticking time bomb. You could have just hosted it on Cloudflare and you wouldn’t have even noticed anything.”

“Vercel "lets it sleep through" since they make money on these calls.”

“Vercel and meta do have business relationships, so one company raising cash for the other sounds convenient.”

“Vercel sandboxes are incredible”

“Tell me how many requests per second a function can process before Vercel queues them and Shopify returns 429s. I also need to know if there is an edge layer that mutates the cache on a webhook from Shopify instead of waiting for ISR timers to expire, because revalidation timers fail when someone buys the last unit of stock”

“Vercel AI Gateway also route to other providers, so the same issues can occur there as well.”
