They could’ve just used ZEIT as the platform then. Vercel sounds like some generic VC created tech name. Their customer base is literally the exact opposite. Indie developers, people with Github accounts, technical engineers, engineering leaders. Not some Salesforce CRM enterprise selling to CEO’s marketing bs “Vercel” lol.

Great product. Them deciding to rebrand from Zeit to Vercel was one of the worst branding decisions ever made.

Cloudflare has a file size limit (512MB) and only caches certain file extensions so for things like binary files, installers, and video it will not cache. For the HTML/CSS/JS asset use case it’s perfectly fine though.

Google naming products at this point is just memes. But it proves that if you have an amazing enough product (G suite) the name doesn’t matter at all. Whoever came up with G suite is just a bad person though ugh.

Node.js/GraphQL/Next.js/PostgreSQL/AWS Lambada (via up). Entirely serverless stack with the application state residing in the DB and a JWT to identify the user. No OS, containers, kubernetes, instances, etc to deal with other than a single RDS instance.

I’m sure from a business perspective 1Password X was also designed with the intent to close the free/standalone funnel and convert those with standalone onto the hosted/paid plan. It’s all about the MRR and I don’t blame them. I’d do the same thing if I was CEO. The money to pay for this R&D/engineering has to come from somewhere.
