I feel like I have Stockholm Syndrome because I really don't mind it, through granted I've now spent just about every day of the past year staring at a various AWS dashboard.
Overall I think AWS is one of the greatest products to ever come about in my lifetime, though I think one of their greatest fumbles is not getting AWS Amplified more right, they could have squashed both Vercel, Netlify and most other "resellers" like a bug.
Even still. GPT4 in particular gets expensive at scale.
Vercel is probably noticing that the LLM community is using NextJS (and Vercel) by default a lot of times, and that supporting the community and building more goodwill will pay off.
Server side rendering?
Like the thing that PHP has been doing for decades?
Genuinely curious how this has now become difficult again after being so completely ubiquitous with hosting, I guess it’s about “scale” and “edge” etc.?
