What you give up vs Vercel
- No built-in application deployment or build pipelines
- Lacks advanced traffic management features like rate limiting, circuit breaking, or canary deployments
- No native support for multi-node clustering or high availability
- Monitoring and logging capabilities are minimal compared to managed platforms
What you gain
- • Full data ownership — self-host Nginx Proxy Manager on your own infrastructure.
- • No per-seat SaaS bill (Vercel: bandwidth and function overage bills).
- • Open-source code you can audit and extend (MIT).
