I’m not defending Vercel or VC backed companies per se, but I don’t understand your comments towards Vercel. They still offer a generous hobby plan and Next.js is still actively maintained open source software that supports self-hosting.

Heroku might be a better example of a company that was acquired and the shut down their free plan.

Supabase and Next.js are not the same. Supabase can be self-hosted but it’s not easy to do so and a lot of moving parts. Most of my Next.js apps are not even on Vercel. They can easily be deployed to Netlify, Railway, Render, etc.

Supabase self-hosting is not difficult, but it makes no sense since some important features are missing, like reports and multiple projects.
