The term "serverless", to me, makes as much sense as "No Software" (Salesforce) did back then: none. I do get the point of "you're not managing any actual servers", but still.
"Nacho server" (not your server) also works.

For a developer audience, yes. For a non technical audience, no.
It's square aimed at developers though, so shouldn't be too much of an issue.
Oh god. Even companies raising $40,000,000 can’t explain what they do: “Vercel combines the best developer experience with an obsessive focus on end-user performance. Our platform enables frontend teams to do their best work.” Nice, inspiring evocative words, but I care to find what the fuck Vercel IS, and this is not an answer. Maybe if I reword the above it will become clear: Vercel lets developers have a really gr…
> Vercel is the best place to deploy any frontend app. Start by deploying with zero configuration to our global edge network. Scale dynamically to millions of pages without breaking a sweat.
which seems rather clear to me.

You're supposed to use other hosted database vendor or your own database server if you need it. I don't think they offer any database service.
What’s the recommended DB host? Does the Next community have a go to?

Could you describe what kind of pain points have you had? I've been building a photo-intensive static personal website lately. I started off with Next.js, but later switched to Gatsby, because so many things just worked out-of-the-box with it. This was especially the case with optimizing and resizing images. For Gatsby there is gatsby-image, which works super well. For Next.js there is next-optimized-images which is…
NextJS supports export for 100% static site generation (like Gatsby). Unlike Gatsby, it _also_ supports a server runtime and SSR, and everything in between. Its magic is the good kind that decomposes into sane primitives. Respectfully, it sounds like you might have needed to spend a little more time with the docs.
No need to be aggressive. I don't have anything against Next, I just felt much more comfortable with Gatsby.
How am I going to educate my child on the value of /value/, when this is a term with serious meaning?

One of the first sentences on the home once you read past the heading.
Hi, serious question what is Vercel? As a developer, what do I use it for? Back-end as a service? Hosting? Database? from reading their homepage several times and looking at their products I still cant tell... can some explain?
Serverless web apps. Using their own Next.js as an example: everything in /pages/ is client app, everything in /api/ is serverless app. Client talks to the /api/ endpoints, /api/ endpoints talk to your domain services. Vercel also provide edge-location hosting and caching.
I'm a huge fan of vercel, it's saved me a lot of money[1] this year. Their developer experience is incredibly friendly and they've contributed extremely useful libraries to open-source, including micro and next.js. I've had great support experiences for some serious issues like platform bugs. They're in a tough position because the serverless paradigm is still foreign to many people, and many typical project dependen…
Could you talk more about your experience mentioned in [1]? That’s super material in terms of improvement.
