Hosting my app - best services? pricing evaluation? ...
I've been built an app I want to deploy and I'm looking over my options... Which boils down to Vercel, Railway or Netlify.
I was studying their prices and comparing etc. However, I still don't think I have a good understanding of how much an average website would cost. How much traffic should I expect, how much resources will I need, what tier will be enough etc...
The short version of my app is that it's a Video content based platform where user's can buy others content. And my infra is roughly this:
--> AWS S3 with Cloudfront (for images and files)
--> Bunny.net (for videos & streaming)
--> Planetscale
--> Deployment???
Out of the 3 options I've tried Vercel (excellent as expected) and Netlify (the app seems kinda slow?), Railway didn't test yet. Out of these I like Vercel the most, but I fear I might go over their limits on the Pro plan and/or have to pay too much...
So... my question is, can someone help me understand how much resources such an app would need with X amount of users. Which platform would be best, or cheapest for now? Or if you have examples of similar, or actually any production apps, on these platforms so I can see what kind of costs I can expect?

you should track the ingoing/outgoing on the app to better check the alternatives
all three of them have a 100gb/month of bandwidth
vercel you always pay the minimum of $20 if you go to the pro plan route, and you get 1TB of bandwidth
on railway you always have a 5$ discount
if its a next app, vercel is the best as a whole as you pay only for the execution
I see, thank
thanks*
will try and migrate if I need to xd
