Does the commercial offering from Gatsby offer hosting? I couldn't figure it out from the https://gatsbyjs.com page.

Gatsby and NextJS (Vercel) are both backed by CRV[1,2]. It seems like a fairly competitive overlap. Would love to hear takes from folks on HN about the feasibility and comparison of Gatsby's and Vercel's business models and competitive overlaps.

Haven't really used Gatsby but vercel is magical. Like once you link up your GitHub repo, the fact that everything works so smoothly is delightful. A lot of other platforms try to compete with vercel on ease of use (heroku) but doesn't even come close. Next.js + vercel seems like cheating honestly
