Vercel Incident Report (23誠鉉)

I got blocked from Vercel under "violating fair use" with two projects: lovearc.net and hn.cho.sh.

I got it resolved by deleting lovearc.net, but now I lean towards Cloudflare Pages

For comparison, this would cost $9,600 with Vercel and $2,017 in AWS CloudFront.

Update

I don't think I've been very transparent about all of work happening around usage controls and pricing at Vercel. So I'd like to do that now.

The tl;dr of the feedback is: more visibility into usage and more ways to control spending. And I think I haven't done a job good about…
