I work at a web agency, and we reached the 10 user limit, and that means we have to be an enterprise customer which makes it 10-20 times the price we are paying already. We ended up removing one user and were looking for another provider. When we told the sales person from Vercel the price was high we got told we are not the kind of customer they want.
1) Vercel serverless functions, or AWS lambdas, have a cold boot-up time after a period of inactivity. So basically the site goes to sleep if you're using SSR
2) I've noticed their SSLs don't work on older browsers (not that it's a huge deal, but I have some old macs which block their site, and any site hosted with them)
Sounds good, I'll check out those edge functions. I do really like that you guys have a free tier! And yes, I can send over some more info on the SSL stuff (mac model/year, browser version, etc)
Interested to hear this too. My only gripe with them, is it's difficult to distinguish between the popularity of Next.js because it's good, or because they've hired an army of people (at Vercel) to talk about it.
I also gave them a look, but it seems their bandwidth pricing is significantly higher than hosting it yourself, so the price accelerates much more aggressively with number of users. That much price variability is just too much of a risk (compared to a flatter/more predictable price) when you're also locking into a custom stack and can't migrate out as easily
