I just migrated our app from Vercel to AWS Amplify.

We’re updating everything to use SSO so we can do BeyondCorp-style auth on SaaS platforms. Vercel wanted to charge >$10k / year to get on their enterprise plan for SAML access, vs bill prior to that was ~$2.5k / year. The migration took ~30 mins and we expect our bill to drop to $500 / year. the toughest part was making sure we didn’t miss any build variables / secrets.

Is this as cheap as running base metal? No. But 30 mins to save $10k / year was worth it. And maybe the bigger point: what value are they really adding if it’s this easy to migrate off?




Does AWS or any other platform provide the kind of deep integration Vercel has with Next.js (such as caching, edge endpoints, etc)?


You would be surprised by the amount of deep integrations/services AWS offers.
