But I liked it. Now I'm mad.
No idea how Vercel scammed so many people. Founder paid an annual contract of $##,### to Vercel for what should be a freely hosted static web app + freely hosted (within credit boundaries) backend in a serverless container (e.g. Google Cloud Run, Azure Container Apps, etc.)
A complete scam.
Last time I checked Vercel was just reselling services of AWS.
> I guess the branding and marketing worked.
Indeed; I remember watching one of their tech sessions around the Next.js 12 to 13 release and then watching a Microsoft one. One was very clearly a marketing ad.We shortly ditched Next.js afterwards because of how janky the whole DX was the entire time and how much worse it was during the transition.
Now I'm back in a Next.js 15 project and it's amazing that the DX somehow feels even worse!
