alt Hacker News> The only reason to dramatically overpay for the hosting resources they provide is because you expect them to expertly manage security and stability.
This and because it's so convenient to click some buttons and have your application running. I've stopped being lazy, though. Moved everything from Render to linode. I was paying render $50+/month. Now I'm paying $3-5.
I would never use one of those hosting providers again.

Looking at linode, those prices get you an instance with 1Gb of ram and a mediocre CPU. So you are running all of your applications on that?

exactly people paid the premium so somebody else's OAuth screwup wouldn't become their Sunday. and here we are.
If you're only paying $3-5 on Linode then your level of usage would probably be comfortably at $0 on Vercel.
