A place for developers to talk about building on Farcaster.

got caught off guard by vercels data cache...

we call the hypersub smart contract to get a users remaining time via serverless function

the calls are made with viem/alchemy, which uses fetch under the hood 

I guess vercel started caching fetch requests recently? this led to subscriptions not being recognized in our app 😞

Vercel moment lol

Literally one of the most bloodsucking companies in the modern industry trying to get everyone hooked on SSR, which sucks up a ton of cash and is useless in 9 out of 10 cases, while not offering anything that cheap VPS with open-source control panels can't offer

Or just:
1) Buy any VPS (digital ocean, AWS, anything)
2) Install https://easypanel.io/ with one script
3) Setup any repo you want (even private) and you're good to go

Will probably do something like that eventually, but for now the tradeoffs for using vercel make sense

once we have stable MRR and confidence in our product we'll focus on optimization / cost cutting

Why don't you use https://coolify.io/self-hosted
It's cheaper, more transparent, has less akward moments (like oops I query my DB too much, now I should pay $2000 for that)
