They and Vercel both seem to be going thru a lot of growing pains. Quite a few outages over the past year.
PS: we use both (for different sites). Probably should consolidate to one.
- parhamn 6y agoI always assumed there is an 'underwriter' (like fastly or akamai) for these CDNs. Is that not the case?

- benatkin 6y agoPerhaps they're using CloudFront and providing an end user CDN on top of it. Both are partners with AWS. Both were multicloud, and it seems, aren't anymore.
- scrose 6y agoI know Vercel uses AWS Lambda's behind the scenes to process web requests at least. I'd assume caching is also handled through Cloudfront by default. The place I currently work uses Fastly for caching and Vercel for hosting and it's definitely caused some issues(and much finger pointing on both of their sides) when one of those services makes a breaking change.

- WORMS_EAT_WORMS 6y agoI’m not sure the future in this space, but I kind just wish Cloudflare and Vercel would join forces. It would make sense to me.
- jpbow 6y agoCloudflare is already on the way to building out all of the features Vercel has which is exciting. Eventually their Pages product (static hosting) will integrate Workers [1] for serverside APIs.

- WORMS_EAT_WORMS 6y agoThey lack a framework and crystal clear way to start developing apps. Nothing exists that taps their features beyond maybe Flarereact.
