I love a good migration post-mortem, thank you to the author for publishing it! There's a bit of extra detail I'd be curious to know, as someone completely unfamiliar with both Vercel & Fly.io:

Re: "we required a lightweight server" as one of the drivers to migrate -- how did deploying to Vercel impede this? What specific business/operational issues was this causing?

Re: migration issue of large container image -- what business or operational issues did the large container image size cause? Why was it necessary to shrink the image size, when it could be previously ignored?

edit: it appears that fly.io previously had a 2GB container image size limit, relaxed on 2023/08/11 to "roughly 8GB" -- https://community.fly.io/t/docker-image-size-limit-raised-fr...
