Eh, not really. You can literally ask Claude how to do this and do it from zero to working within an hour. Sure, if you're building a massively scalable solution running in multi regions with serverless and non-serverless, k8s, and RabbitMQ, sure that's hard. But half the people in these comments are running basic front-end apps with zero need for anything more complex than a small server somewhere.

Also, the truth is, for most small businesses, they don't need half the shit they are paying Vercel for. Most small businesses barely have any traffic so they're paying Vercel for a worldwide CDN and caching etc when a single AWS-micro instance in a single region would be fine, and setting up a single instance in AWS doesn't need complex server admin experience.
