Hello,
I have been hosting my project on vercel and I really don't like it at least the free version. so I wanted ask is there any open source and free alterantive of vercel. of course I won't be hosting the production server there but I don't want to pay for it when I am developing it.
Thanks in advance <3

Could you give more context about what Vercel features you need - is the site statically generated, or do you also need Vercel Functions?

no the site isn't statically generated. I want Vercel Functions too I think because I am also utilizing SSR and nextjs api ( so basically it's not a static site ), the CI/CD part has been taken care of by Github actions. the site is currently in beta testing so there is few hundred of testing users are there using the site.

Cloudflare workers provide a good free tier

Could you explain why you don't like the free tier? They give you 1 million function calls every month.

There are several European based alternatives to Vercel. It's also worth having a read through or posting to !web_hosting@programming.dev

If you only need it for development, and will still host the final product in Vercel, why wouldn’t you just test locally?

I've been using coolify for in house services and databases at work on our own hardware, it works pretty well, albeit a bit difficult to get the initial setup going. So far it does the job.

It depends on what you want to do. I myself use hostinger to host my NodeJS app. The downside is nodejs are only supported on their business tier web host. To be fair, it is more appealing than VPS with the same price for the infinite bandwidth aloneWhoops, my bad. I didn't see the need for it to be free
