The Sneaky Costs of Scaling Serverless

Chronicling the *wonderful time* I had migrating the beefy 11ty Screenshots API to a new hosting provider.
@zachleat Another thing with Vercel is their services out-of-the-box are often not price optimized.
For example, "Speed Insights" is great, but by default they assume you want 100% of user visits. You can; however, manually reduce that. Their network monitoring tool is worse in that it only allows 100% of requests.
With "Speed Insights", you only need ~5,000 points/month, not 100% of visits. That tool is really helpful, but for a medium-sized site, nobody will pay $300 / month for extra data.
