Leerob, thank you for your patience and help on Reddit community! The NextJS gets a lot of criticism these days but you helped a lot of people, with self-hosting NextJs and other tricky questions.

Jumping onto a Next.js project right now that has no reason to have SSR. The code is now excessively complex, difficult to detangle, and I can't believe how bad the local DX is on a cold start on an M1 MBP. It's so slow; every nav is agonizing. Maybe it's how this is configured, maybe it's some other issue, but I definitely didn't encounter this with OOB stock Nuxt.js and of course, this project is an app that has no reason nor benefit for using Next.js.

No idea how Vercel scammed so many people. Founder paid an annual contract of $##,### to Vercel for what should be a freely hosted static web app + freely hosted (within credit boundaries) backend in a serverless container (e.g. Google Cloud Run, Azure Container Apps, etc.)

A complete scam.

I guess the branding and marketing worked.

Last time I checked Vercel was just reselling services of AWS.

NextJS now is unecessary complex, and there are things to avoid to make sure everything works fine.

I am not sure why it is so slow for you, maybe you you can try run this boilerplate (work in progress to make it easy to use)

https://github.com/wizecore/boilerplate-saas/

It uses Pages router, comes with local postgres, redis and AWS sqs emulator. No docker, no cloud needed for it to work locally.

Such setup is crazy fast on my mbp m2 pro.
