A good fit for
Jamstack and static/SSR sites
Git deploys, CDN, and edge functions
Teams wanting a Vercel alternative
Framework-agnostic frontend cloud
Known weaknesses
Each one links to the public issue, changelog or docs page it came from, where we have one.

Usage overages add up on busy sites
- 02
Less Next.js-optimized than Vercel
Next.js gets first-party treatment on Vercel
What it does well
