Where is Vercel's cloud functions running? How do they compare to AWS Lambda/Edge?

The documentation on https://nextjs.org/learn/basics/api-routes/api-routes-detail... seems quite sparse. I see basic routing and middleware but seems nowhere near as many features as other frameworks.

I see it's great for building an MVP but may not be a good fit outside of startups. Nevertheless, its the front-end and server side rendering is quite interesting to me.

What are some problems with this setup? Might have a go just for the frontend portion but seems to good to be true in some aspects.
