@swyx I see it like bicycle gears. Client side rendering is gear 5. It's powerful but you have to do a lot of work to get started. SSR is gear 1. You can start really fast but your top speed is very limited. With react server components we can finally switch gears without...

This is the biggest miss understanding I see about serverless on a regular basis I use serverless because it handles all of these trivial things for me not because I can't write a Dockerfile in 2 minutes for my node server

Congratulations! You saved a few hours by not writing a Dockerfile and deploying a serverless function. Now, good luck spending the next few days figuring out how to handle background jobs, caching, rate limiting, and all the other trivial things you need.

We will keep seeing this but the answer is not to leave Vercel completely. Setting up Cloudflare as a reverse proxy has 3 steps and takes 5 minutes. This lets you block suspicious traffic automatically and configure customizable rules if you are under attack
