So many startups I speak to are spending $1k+ per month on servers with way less traffic. They also spent hours on DevOps which easily costs them tens of thousands in salaries. $200 is an annoying amount to spend if you're a student / have no revenue. But all things considered this is a tiny bill for 30k users, esp. considering he likely spent 0 time/money on DevOps other than this bill because Vercel makes things so easy. Plus his site didn't crash because Vercel scales automatically. Obviously, you can get cheaper prices (esp. if you don't value your time), as Vercel charges a markup. And that might be the best thing for him. Spending $2.5k per year on servers is tough when getting started. https://x.com/rexan_wong/status/1855760594403799132

Great breakdown from Theo where a lot of the "unexpected" costs of Vercel come from. https://youtu.be/jsuNjCAngnQ Unsurprisingly its CDN and bandwidth from assets and serverless execution with needless awaiting.
