Vercel Is Ridiculously Expensive

We just finished our website migration from Vercel to GCP to save $50 monthly. If you can, migrate it out ASAP to other cloud platform, like AWS and GCP.

Vercel is expensive and has many hidden fees, like $10 per month for monitoring (this should be free), web analytics Plus (google analytics for free) and source images 5$ per 1000 (what is this?).

Have no idea why Vercel is desperate to charge user money.

How do you handle global infrastructure on AWS/GCP?

The performance is great in the US for my Next.js app on GCP/AWS as that's where I deploy to, but elsewhere the TTFB is poor. Deploying to multiple regions would probably end up costing more than Vercel for us.
