I'd be very interested, is there someone who could elaborate please?

I'm terrified using a service like Vercel because I heard about the massive cost trap that can hit you hard and I don't know if there is any alternative for (easily & quickly) hosting NextJS apps.

Its relatively straightforward to host a nextjs app in a docker container and route it with nginx and cloudflare, but you probably wont get as good uptime

Better uptime than having to take it down bc it got hugged though

Thank you for the advice, didn't consider using docker instead and saw a lot of potential alternatives to Vercel for self-hosting which support a great deployment experience (Caprover, Dokploy, Coolify, Stacktape etc.).

That’s exactly why I put the spend limit, and this was the first time to confirm that it actually works.

Good to know that this is possible, thank you!
