I was an early adopter of Now v1 and loved it. I evangelized it to all my clients, used it on every project - it was such a breath of fresh air that deploying a server was now so easy. Ok, I get that serverless is a different paradigm. And I understand the arguments for it. But I refused to use Now v2 precisely because they violated their promises they had made -- but worse, turned it into "just another AWS". If I want serverless, I'll use AWS because frankly Zeit/Vercel's visibility into what is going on is just abysmal. And FWIW we now have several projects running on serverless -- using Next.js -- on AWS. Using the severless component, it requires NO special considerations and could easily be redeployed on a standard server in minutes. No vendor lock in, funny how that worked out? I expected to be locked in on AWS serverless. That didn't happen. The icing on the cake was when they didn't officially deprecate v1, but made it so unstable, so unusable, that I got to the point of spending DAYS per week deploying and redeploying and redeploying our docker containers because their servers would randomly decide that the hosting server no longer had a network connection. If I see E_AGAIN one more time I'm going to spit. And then they upped the price from $20/mo that we were paying for 4 containers, to $150. Thanks guys. It left such a bad taste in my mouth that I spent a day, redid everything to deploy on AWS EB, and haven't looked back since. That was the LEAST amount of time I'd spent on that, in a given week, for about a 4 month period prior. To be fair, the guy running Zeit/Vercel's support is pretty solid. He did try to be helpful. My experience with the technical leadership has been left lacking. We tried several times to contribute to Next.js and were treated like idiot children because how dare we trample on their kingdom. If you're not a tech bro, stay in your lane! Look I'm just sharing my experience over there. It has been roundly negative. I'm sure others can come with anecdotes of it being roundly positive, good for you. Mine is just another anecdote but it's the only insight I have. Although, the 1500+ comment thread on Spectrum when they announced v2 strongly suggests I'm not alone.
