Vercel Says Internal Systems Hit in Breach

sdoering: Dupe. Other thread with comments:https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47824463

zuzululu: What is the rationale for using vercel ? I'm getting a lot of value out of cloudflare with the $5/month plan lately but my bare metal box with triple digit ram has seen zero downtime since 2015.

gjsman-1000: 0.82% of homes are burglarized every year.Meaning since 2015, you’ve got an 8.2% chance of having someone walk out with that box. Hopefully there’s nothing precious on it.

0123456789ABCDE: yes, this is indeed how probability works. thanks.

deaux: They put a massive amount of VC cash into convincing people that Next.js was "the modern way" to create a website. Then they got lucky with the timing of LLMs becoming popular while they were the hot thing, leading LLMs to default to it when creating new websites. To picture that amount of VC cash - they're at Series F, and a huge chunk of that went towards marketing.Both have been changing as people realize it's rarely the right tool for the job, and as LLMs also become more intelligent and better at suggesting other, better options depending on what is asked for (especially Claude Opus).

zoul: Very nice developer experience. A lot of batteries included, like CDN, incremental page regeneration, image pipeline or observability. Not having to maintain a server.I’m still planning to move elsewhere though, the vendor lock-in is not worth it and I’d like to keep our infra in the EU.

jheitzeb: Missing from Glasswing

arkits: Develop experience. Ephemeral deploys. Decent observability. Decent CI options. Generous free tier.
