> I would have never switched before agents, barring some extreme necessity, but now an agent writes for us the Dockerfile, the build config, the deploy file, all of it, from one prompt. Really? That's too hard for the author without an LLM agent? |

I wouldn't switch from Vercel just to save X% per month, because the real cost was all the extra time to build and maintain the infrastructure myself. The savings never justified the hours.
With agents that math changes. The build and maintenance work moves onto the agent, so the savings threshold where switching makes sense drops a lot.
On top of that there are other goodies. Vercel is serverless, so you can't co-locate the API with the DB, which means extra latency and yet another bill (Supabase?). That's one more thing you can now own for basically no effort.
