Why People Aren't Deploying to Vercel Anymore

Historically, Vercel has been THE place to deploy your NextJS apps. Not only NextJS, but many other Frameworks are supported out of the box. Two or three clicks, deployment done. Why are more and more people switching away from Vercel then?

What I'm mostly interested in moving away currently are my static assets and possibly moving some data to a database once the assets are decoupled from the app (Planetscale or cockroachdb free tiers might be plenty for my usecase?). What is the workflow/CD like for something like Amazon CloudFront? Do they offer scaling and filetype conversion (i.e. png->webp) for image assets?

Bro, I got confused and I'm a beginner so I know for example Hostinger if I deploy my portfolio there and I pay yearly for the domain and everything is fine why do I need AWS or others can u explain pls

[tommytanti]

Is it good host next is project in hostinger with VPS, or in vercel free version. Traffic will be through SEO only. Please suggest.

A very well-made video. Thanks! I'm building my own NextJS deployment platform now.

The real question is which mega-corporation you wanna depend on for your livelihood 🤓

[jackdra]

That cost estimate was due to a bot attack. Is there an estimate of what "user scale" your website would have to be at before you start paying money? Like n active users using your website for m hours per day?

Dude I love your content but your video titles are super clickbaity lately. I don’t have time to watch each video 3 min intro to finally know what it is about..

Would you consider AWS for a large scale application with 10TB+ bandwidth consumption or Digital Ocean Kubernetes (management is not an issue) regarding costs?

QUESTION: When self-hosting a Next.js app that includes the "edge-runtime", does it function outside of Vercel? Rumor has it that this aspect of the edge-runtime functionality relies not on Vercel-AWS Lambda but rather on Cloudflare Workers.

Hi Josh, I have a question, I have deployed my app to vercel, my app is a gallery app where it connects to a database (mongodb atlas). On localhost it's working, but when it's on the internet and I create an account, I get a 504 error saying "an error occurred with your implementation", when I press the button to call any api, no matter what it is. My understanding is that vercel has a timeout of 10 or 5 seconds or something. I simply change to another alternative to vercel or how could I solve this? Sorry for my English.

Apart from the tedious setup process, what would be the drawbacks of going the OLD traditional route of provisioning a server instance on something like Digital Ocean $7 month droplet and running nextjs on ubuntu?

Does AWS Amplify still not support app directory?

[samirmishra]

What's the guarantee that moving to AWS amplify will prevent you from bot attacks?

Which chrome extention you use for built with?

[slahomar]

will you have ISR on Digital Ocean or AWS ?

[sukalov]

thank you for the video!
could you suggest any tutorials on deploying a nextjs app to AWS? or maybe even make a video where you do it? becuse a tutorial from cody is waaay to fast and not-understandable for me yet

Good to know as I’m deploying a website to Vercel app in June.

For DDoS I will mitigate with Cloudflare, but how to mitigate bandwidth?

[robnauticus]

Hey Josh, good vid. Do you think adding throttling/ rate limiting would be a way to mitigate this kind of attack?

[unnikrishnanadoor]

image to what? that opensource project of yours?

[timeforrice]

Isn't there's a way to set a limit number of calls?
