What is the rationale for using vercel ? I'm getting a lot of value out of cloudflare with the $5/month plan lately but my bare metal box with triple digit ram has seen zero downtime since 2015.
If you are using nextjs it is easier because vercel done a lot of things to make it a pain to host outside of vercel.

I am not following the logic. If you’re a hobbyist, sure. But the argument is if you’re using Vercel for production, you’re paying 5-10x what you’d pay for a VM, with 4gb. So then what’s the rationale? You can’t be a hobbyist but also “it’s pay time” for production?
Perhaps the rationale is laziness. Maintaining VM probably takes some more effort and competence than deploying to Vercel. Some people are willing to pay to minimize effort and the need to learn anything.

He doesn't work at Vercel but he is the type to never pass up any opportunity to chase clout.
Almost like that’s his job. Hey, I’m with you - I think social media needs to die specifically for this reason. I’m reminded of the term “snake oil” - it’s like the dawn of newspapers again.
Claude Code defaulting to a certain set of recommended providers[0] and frameworks is making the web more homogenous and that lack of diversity is increasing the blast radius of incidents [0] https://amplifying.ai/research/claude-code-picks/report
So I told something like, "don't use anything node at all", and it immediately rewrote it as a Python backend, and it volunteered that it was minimizing dependencies in how it did that.

Can one host a Next js app on cloudflare?

It's a good point, but I don't think the problem here is Claude. It's how you use it. We need to be guiding developers to not let Claude make decisions for them. It can help guide decisions, but ultimately one must perform the critical thinking to make sure it is the right choice. This is no different than working with any other teammate for that matter.
So they use third-party for incident management? They are de-risking by spending more, which is a loose-loose for the customers.
