The biggest facepalm moment I had was when we switched Levels.fyi from gulp.js to next.js. Our pagespeed, hosting costs, etc all took a significant hit. We're experiencing the same issues as described in the post and weighing our options to transition as well. Avoid next.js / vercel at all costs.

Where would you prefer to deploy now?

Anybody passing by please share too

We deploy currently on AWS so that's not changing. It's just the framework that needs to be changed :)

If it sucked why didn't you just abort?

What did you end up doing? Are you still on nextjs? Big fan of levels.fyi btw. Thanks for your work

Appreciate it! We're still on nextjs. Will def put a blogpost together as we optimize / move away. Thankfully, AI makes large-scale mostly repetitive migrations like these much simpler.
