Vercel!! Watch out for you bill now this is being hugged. Hopefully you are not using <Image /> like they pester you to do.

it's pretty sad, they motivate you all throughout their docs to use it, when just a webp would work ok

it's literally that meme of the bus — the happy guy is you and vercel and the sad one is your wallet

(unless you need dynamic scaling and minification though)

it has actually scaled pretty well and has been negligible cost-wise.

I didn’t have to do anything to handle HN traffic. Just a boilerplate nextjs app.

What’s the problem with <Image />?
Vercel charges for image optimizations/dynamic scaling. People get wrong perception that it should be a free service because the DX is so easy...
