Vercel is sooo easy. Hook it to a repo and you’re done. It’s also cheap depending on use case. Edge functions are nice. Zero complaints from me as a customer for a little over a year.

I work with a small crew and having no server maintenance lets us ship more code. Really as simple as that.

The options mentioned do not require server maintenance. They are not VPSes though, and do not cost $8/month...

You're right I used the term interchangeably - AWS Lightsail would have been a good service comparison, and those do start at $3.50[0]. The $8 figure came from running the smallest Fargate task at .25cpu and 512mb, excluding the load balancer etc. [1]

It was announced that App Runner (today) allowed for smaller instances[2], and the price/mo for this instance would basically be 1/4th of the previous default. So ~$14 [3]
