If I had to guess why it probably has something to do with infra costs. Next is best on Vercel, and at scale you’ll pay a pretty penny. Makes total sense to switch to a lightweight client and use a cloud service that’s not as expensive. Always the natural progression imo; ship, iterate, scale

Wonder why not NextJS on AWS instead of rewriting the entire stack? Maybe they had to migrate from pages to app dir and figured that was an opportune time?

It’s possible. From my understanding launching Next on AWS is not easy, as it’s highly optimized to work on Vercel. sst.dev even started a fork/adapter called Open Next to make it easier to deploy it to AWS but it’s still not perfect https://github.com/sst/open-next I get it though. If you’re a company like Vercel that’s raised money, you gotta make smart business decisions. They make launching an app so freaking easy and that’s their goal, but it’s at a cost. There’s always a balance of deciding how far you want to go with doing the hard things yourself and paying someone else to do it for you. Larger companies generally do it themselves
