A few quotes I agree with:
"Yeah I see it as a strategy thing. When you’re testing an idea out vercel is good choice. If you see any indication that it’ll scale that’s when you start planning your infra cutover and graduate your project to a traditional cloud provider. The worst thing you can do even at scale is get vendor locked. Then you’re screwed"
"Use Vercel for quick prototyping/proof of concept development or low use internal platforms. Don’t use it for scale and/or SaaS otherwise you’re just begging for high bills."

I'm not opposed to using Vercel; rather, I want to emphasize that we need to be very mindful of the possibilities, settings, and traffic. We can't just assume that everything "runs smoothly" with our applications on Vercel.
