Great NextJS hack if you want to use server-side components but have “onClick” functionality in the component! 👌

#3 🎨

exactly a month after I got hit with a $200 @vercel bill, my design app has 70K+ NEW users
but my bill this time is 'only' $30!!!
shoutout to the vercel team, @theo video, and many helpful comments suggesting how to optimize the codebase - its hella important 👍

Vercel cost is the new AWS billing issue! Rexan reduced his cost from $200 to $30 using this @theo video, and now you can, too! 🔥

#4 🎨

W̶e̶ (@RhysSullivan) made next-faster.⁠vercel.⁠app faster (is such a thing even possible) by removing some unnecessary re-renders with react-scan.
