`next/image` works self-hosted (it uses either Squoosh or optionally Sharp) as well as with any third-party solution you want. Vercel is just one choice! https://nextjs.org/docs/basic-features/image-optimizati

Hey! I'm Lee, Head of DevRel at Vercel :) Happy to answer any questions you have. Vercel is a frontend cloud platform that integrates with any framework you prefer (or just plain HTML!). We are also the creators of Next.js, which is a

We love Svelte and are super excited to help it grow. IMO it's fun, easy to learn, and is fresh take on modern web development. More here: https://vercel.com/blog/vercel-welcomes-rich-harris-creator-...

Lee from Vercel here. The governance of Svelte isn't changing – it's still the same independent, open-source project and community. We're just supporting Rich and helping the project grow!

Yes, the Hacker News demo shown does run at the Edge (using Vercel Edge Functions) when deployed. If you self host, it would run on your server of choice. Vercel doesn't have 4 regions, we have 17 :)
