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.

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

Cloudflare workers provide a good free tier
