I used to use a custom build script to do deploys (scp a binary onto a monolith server, execute a script; systemd restart www.service, etc). Worked fine for years. It would continue working fine, too. I moved to Vercel and adopted a fairly serverless approach and leverage edge functions and edge caching where ever possible. It has been wonderful and I don't see myself ever going back to doing things myself. Sure, I could spin up some AWS services and figure it all out myself, but the freedom Vercel has given me has been worth the added cost. As a solo founder it has been amazing. No more worrying about security, access control, updates, or anything other than my own product and features. I don't care how it works. I don't want to know. I just want to continue improving my product.
