This is why I'm bear-ish on Next.JS as a framework. Vercel has some super cool features for Next.Js that are easy to integrate into your app, but is that de-incentivizing Next.JS to implement them in an open way? Vercel is a hyper for-profit and closed platform, is that blocking innovation on Next.JS as an "open-source" framework?
Gotta love it’s hosted on Vercel. So much for ‘convenience not worth it’.

I'm interested in Neon and considering migrating to it. A few questions that I couldn't find a quick answer to: 1. When scaling to zero, what is the cold start for a request (including the time needed to make the connection)? Do you have benchmarks on this you could share? 2. Does Neon run a pgbouncer service or are customers expected to run their own? Is it better for AWS lambda functions to leave a connection open…
1. Right now cold start is 3-5 sec. We are actively working on bringing it down. This is our users #1 complaint 2. Yes to pg bouncer. You have two connection strings with and without it 3. Yes. Check out our serverless driver.
I saw your serverless driver, but it looks like it uses WSS, not HTTP. Is that correct, or is there an HTTP variant as well?

Right around the time when Vercel introduced their performance analytics upsell service, they deleted the NextJS documentation on "web vitals" gathering - same thing, but without the service. Then again when they introduced their new Image component for the longest time it would by default use Vercel's paid image optimisation services, eventually it could be disabled but only with some weird and poorly/confusingly do…
Serious question: do big companies actually use Vercel? I never worked at a big/very big company but I don't see how these prices would scale for them
How does Neon compare with planetscale for free dB hosting? I know fly also has free dB's, but it really isn't a managed dB service.
Neon CEO here. Much much better :) On a serious note, Neon is Postgres and Planetscale is MySQL. Neon has 100% compat with Postgres and Planetscale supports most but not all MySQL. Neon has unlimited storage a single node compute. Planetscale is scale out architecture on top of Vitess. Neon scales to 0 and more cost effective b/c the architecture.
But the lack of postgres was why I never used it. I'll have to give neon a go.
