Vercel is sooo easy. Hook it to a repo and you’re done. It’s also cheap depending on use case. Edge functions are nice. Zero complaints from me as a customer for a little over a year. I work with a small crew and having no server maintenance lets us ship more code. Really as simple as that.

The options mentioned do not require server maintenance. They are not VPSes though, and do not cost $8/month...

  You're right I used the term interchangeably - AWS Lightsail would have been a good service comparison, and those do start at $3.50[0]. The $8 figure came from running the smallest Fargate task at .25cpu and 512mb, excluding the load balancer etc. [1] It was announced that App Runner (today) allowed for smaller instances[2], and the price/mo for this instance would basically be 1/4th of the previous default. So ~$14 [3] [0] https://aws.amazon.com/lightsail/pricing/ https://aws.amazon.com/lightsail/pricing/ [1] https://calculator.aws/#/estimate?id=42b33d2f26786ac08a3610a09447c44e7fd43961 https://calculator.aws/#/estimate?id=42b33d2f26786ac08a3610a...

Took me less than 1 min to setup NextJS on AWS App Runner with auto deploys on commits, the rest was waiting for it to finish which I'll admit, Vercel is much faster at. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kmbgATze8UU https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kmbgATze8UU
