New blog post:
The Sneaky Costs of Scaling Serverless
https://www.zachleat.com/web/serverless-cost/
Chronicling the *wonderful time* I had migrating the beefy 11ty Screenshots API to a new hosting provider.
@zachleat Agreed on the Vercel higher vCPU is not needed unless you're memory constrained. For a passive screenshot tool, time is not a problem. I've had to use the performance vCPU for applications where puppeteer was running on a user action.

Vercel is super easy to setup. AWS is at the opposite. I just hope sometihng like Coolify, but more-serverless focused comes about.
@chris_hayes yes! I’ve been looking into some things that help with AWS deployment too (e.g. arc.codes or serverless.com)
@zachleat @chris_hayes Do you plan to share experience on that, too?
@mariohamann @chris_hayes I usually don’t promise blog posts because the second I promise a post I lose all motivation to write it
