Serverless (Vercel/AWS Lambda) vs Traditional VPS in India: Latency and Cost
Serverless computing promises zero server management, but dynamic database cold starts and bandwidth egress surcharges can produce unexpected surprises.
1. When Serverless Wins
Statically compiled frontend assets (Next.js SSG), unpredictable spiky event traffic, and globally distributed edge workloads thrive on serverless infrastructure.
2. When Dedicated VPS Wins
Steady, predictable traffic loads, persistent database connection pooling, and continuous background cron tasks are substantially more cost-effective on dedicated Indian VPS instances.
