1: Vercel is running millions of personal Next.js static sites for free. 2: Inefficient in what sense? In my experience, most of the latest software startups are shipping incredibly quick with Next.js / Vercel stack infra. TS/JS is still a much faster runtime (and only one with types) than the practical alternatives of Python, Ruby, and PHP. There is a single digit percentage shipping new startups in Java/C#. Go could make a decent case. 3: IMO the Next.js / Vercel deployment experience is far far better than what I dealt with wrangling Django templates / non-template integration / deploying anywhere else. In Django VPS land, you can follow this guide and encounter multiple issues particular to your setup: https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-set-up-django-with-postgres-nginx-and-gunicorn-on-ubuntu https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-set-... and figure out Dokku deployments or GitHub action CI issues. On Next.js / Vercel, you can: 1: Click a button linking github and Vercel. 2: Enter .env on Vercel 3: git push
