jestdotty408679dcuz Amazon wants money
the best business model is providing infrastructure because then people are dependent on you
then you lock them in and make changing away from it difficult and upcharge them
and make sure to pamper the universities and anywhere else developers get made or turn for expertise and tell everybody Amazon is the industry standard way to do everything and has everything and so good and offer no other alternatives. start 'em young like Disney. once you get into someone's habits it's very difficult for them to entertain and learn alternatives
that's why there's a billion fucking cloud books and "AWS professors" -
devdiddydog147679dYou are comparing a framework to hosting..
Are you talking about just pushing nextjs apps up on vercel? If so, yes that's a quick and free way to get something online.
Unfortunately, often in enterprise development you do need a bit more than what vercel can offer. So you also have to pay for that, and yes way too much of it goes to buying yachts and shit.
People tend to forget that it is still possible to host your own stuff on-prem though. -
kiki3480979dBecause when verceI, a for-profit VC oriented company that strong-armed the competition out, raises their tariffs, it's over. As with everything VC, anti consumer shit is not a question of if, it's a question of when.

mostr4am56879dWe blow like 10 millions every month on aws. Whatever cloud nextjs is supporting is gonna be more expensive.

lungdart323679dSmall projects use simple architecture.
DevOps is for breaking down silos between dev and operations. If the dev and operations are the same guy, congrats! Your doing devops. Lol
serious question: in what FUCKING case would i need to use DevOps engineering and custom backend custom frontend AWS azure gcp cloud providers etc if all that bullshit can be avoided and the same performant software can be crafted in 1 single framework -- nextjs?????
all of that bullshit looks like WAY overengineered, marketing-bloated BULLSHIT so bozos can buy more yachts off ur fucking dumbass cloud provider usage.
how is nextjs so powerful that u dont need any of those shits?
beyond me
the only time i see all of this overengineered shit makes sense is if u work on a large corporation software such as bank
then sure.
but chances are if u freelance or build ur own side project
ur NOT gonna fucking need to overengineer all of that cowshit
i literally had to take a step back for several weeks to unbrainwash myself by jeff bozos megacorp
and realize all these megacorps lure u into bullshit
keep it fucking simple you fucking fags and stop feeding the money hungry corps
u dont need a fucking gigazillion complexity software
