Comparing Vercel and AWS pricing structure for scaling larger teams and projects, what are the cost implications and differences?

I know they are experimenting with the pricing. There used to be a very large gap between the Pro Plan and the plan if you had more than ten developers -- the switch was pretty big. Personally, I think they can be flexible. If you need one more developer, I think that would be fine. But since most of these platforms are built on top of something like AWS, it doesn’t make sense for them to be cheaper than AWS. If they were cheaper, it means that maybe they have AWS for free or something, and that's likely not the case.

So what a company does is outsource the maintenance. You are paying for being free of DevOps and to have people who take care of the infrastructure and the support. That's something. If you want to have everything on AWS, you will need to hire some person who does this or does Vercel for you.

Generally speaking, I think the Jamstack approach is cheaper, especially at a large scale. The scaling is cheaper because of the CDNs, and serverless is becoming cheaper and cheaper too.
