Next.js 12 - Hackdot

but (at least last I checked and from what I can glean from current docs) Vercel doesn't host databases, or integrate on a network level with the major cloud providers that do, so if you run your "back end" on Vercel you still need a "back back end" from a different provider and are opting into a huge amount of network operations burden to securely connect the two.

Welcome to the Jamstack.

/snark

I'd think of a Next-driven BE as a BE for FE. And since it's co-located, You can share types, validators, utilities, (mental) models, etc. across the same codebase.

A technique that does have its place. Not always. Maybe not even half the time. But cleverer people than me use it to some effect.

For this sort of thing I really like fauna (https://fauna.com/). I don't think you really "need" a "backend backend" anymore, and small dev teams are probably better off without them.

Right, they don't host the databases, but they do integrate with other database, etc. providers: https://vercel.com/integrations

Vercel itself I believe runs on a combination of Google Cloud and AWS.
