Wow. I am sorry about your experience. While Vercel's offering might packed in a nice package you can't really compare it with what Amplify offers. You can leverage a lot of the AWS infrastructre through Amplify. Hosting a NextJS site is literally one thing it supports.

At least, Vercel does this one thing very well. The same cannot be said about a lot of AWS services. What good is being able to use AWS infrastructure through AWS if a lot of it is sub-par in quality?

AWS AppSync = sub-par Hasura
AWS Cognito = sub-par Auth0/Okta/...
and the list goes on

For the record, we're using AWS Infrastructure in combination with our Vercel-deployed frontend just fine.
