Vercel is built on cloudflare workers meaning vercel winning means cloudflare wins. Also I think building out the datacenters across the globe is a much harder problem than building out a framework.

Vercel's infrastructure is multi-cloud, primarily using AWS. We're currently using Workers specifically for Edge Functions (https://vercel.com/edge).

That animation in the background could use a little optimization. It's redrawing nonstop for no reason. Left the site open for a few mins and it got my humble Thinkpad's fans going hard (Vivaldi).

Do you have a reference for this? Curious to learn more. I thought Vercel was built on AWS.

making a framework popular is harder than making data center stuff; people successfully rack boxes and crank rust/go/js/.. every day, but most js frameworks fail
