I've been using Vercel because my main stack is React and Next.js, I'm focused on Frontend dev, but Next.js has built-in API routes that let me easily integrate a backend layer along with Supabase, and hosting it in Vercel is the easiest way to deploy a Next.js app.
However, all that magic that Next.js does with image optimization, edge functions, and all that stuff has a cost; as long as my traffic between apps hosted there doesn't reach the limit, I don't have to worry about the bill. I'm not sure if I am willing to switch to a paid plan once I start getting too much traffic unless I start doing something for commercial purposes, maybe I'll consider self-hosting my own apps that I build for fun.
Makes sense. Vercel really shines for frontend devs, especially with Next.js. Curious to see if people stick with it long term or go the self-hosting route once traffic picks up.
