- HumanOstrich 9mo agoThe same ways Vercel makes it harder to deploy Next.js sites to competitors or for self hosting.
- fady0 9mo agoNext.js isn't just a static site generator.
- HumanOstrich 9mo agoAstro isn't just a static site generator either. Not sure what your point is.

- HumanOstrich 9mo agoDid YOU even bother to look at their site? They support more than static generation, including SSR and even API endpoints. That means Astro has a server that can run server-side (or serverless) to do more than static site generation, so it's not just a static site generator either. And yes I can see you're posting the same lie all over the comments here. Stop being a potty mouth.
- theturtletalks 9mo agoVercel does not make Next.js hard to deploy elsewhere. Next.js runs fine on serverful platforms like Railway, Render, and Heroku. I have run a production Next.js SaaS on Railway for years with no issues. What Vercel really did was make Next.js work well in serverless environments, which involves a lot of custom infrastructure [0]. Cloudflare wanted that same behavior on CF Workers, but Vercel never open-sourced how they do it, and that is not really their responsibility. Next.js is not locked to Vercel. The friction shows up when trying to run it in a serverless model without building the same kind of platform Vercel has. 0. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sIVL4JMqRfc https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sIVL4JMqRfc
- NicoJuicy 9mo agoSo it is vendor locked by Vercel. That's why there is OpenNext - https://opennext.js.org/ https://opennext.js.org/
- philipallstar 9mo agoHow is it vendor locked?
- NicoJuicy 9mo agoRecent features are more dependent on Vercel and it's OpenNext that makes it platform independent with adapters.
- Capricorn2481 9mo agoCan you describe what you mean here? Because I have heard this about 100 times and never understood what people mean when they say this. I am hosting a NextJS site without Vercel and I had no special consideration for it.
