    Why switch from Pantheon

    The natural home for Next.js front ends if you no longer need a hosted PHP CMS.

    Pros

    • Preview deployment for every pull request
    • First-class support for Next.js and other modern frameworks
    • Global CDN and serverless functions with little setup

    Cons

    • Hobby plan is limited to non-commercial use
    • Usage overages can make bills unpredictable
    • Long-running servers and workers fit poorly
