#2They and Vercel both seem to be going thru a lot of growing pains. Quite a few outages over the past year.
PS: we use both (for different sites). Probably should consolidate to one.

I always assumed there is an 'underwriter' (like fastly or akamai) for these CDNs. Is that not the case?

A quick infrastructure service (from what I understand.) If you are building a JS single page app and want to be able to deploy it and some backing cloud functions without really worrying about CDNs, gateways, etc. Git push, code runs tests, code is deployed, done.

Perhaps they're using CloudFront and providing an end user CDN on top of it. Both are partners with AWS. Both were multicloud, and it seems, aren't anymore.

#8This has been the third major outage for Netlify in the last few weeks.
I like the company, they have good people on their team, and their interface and functionality is great (deploy previews are so nice!).
But this is probably the last straw, as the static portion of our company's website has been down for 45 minutes now.
Fortunately, the beauty of a static site is they're quite easy to host anywhere.
We're already on AWS, and it's easy enough to set up CloudFront. It won't be _quite_ as quick to deploy but it will probably rarely if ever break. Guess that's my task for the day :(

You should checkout Cloudflare Pages. For static stuff it’s a dream to setup, and you get previews out of the box.

I know Vercel uses AWS Lambda's behind the scenes to process web requests at least. I'd assume caching is also handled through Cloudfront by default. The place I currently work uses Fastly for caching and Vercel for hosting and it's definitely caused some issues(and much finger pointing on both of their sides) when one of those services makes a breaking change.
