    Why switch from Vercel

    Git-based frontend hosting with previews inside your AWS account.

    • Inherits AWS scale, regions and compliance

    Cons

    • Debugging often means digging into underlying AWS services
    • Usage billing across several services is hard to predict
    • Strong lock-in to AWS
