Hi, I'm the author of the blog (though I didn't post it on HN).

1) Our biggest issue right now is unidentified crawlers with user agents resembling regular users. We get hundreds of thousands of requests from those daily and I'm not sure how to block them on Vercel.

I'd love them to be challenged. If a bot doesn't identify itself, we don't want to let it in.

2) While we fixed the Image Optimization part and optimized caching, we're now struggling with ISR Write costs. We deploy often and the ISR cache is reset on each deploy.

We are about to put Cloudflare in front of the site, so that we can set Cache-Control headers and cache SSR pages (rather than using ISR) independently.
