If I could add a feature to Vercel to make my life easier, I would add a user journey feature for new users. This would guide them with tips on exploring the platform, showing them the routes for deployment and functions they can use. This way, users can understand all the features without upgrading to premium to see their benefits.
Due to RBI guidelines, we're facing issues with billing in India. Credit card payments often get declined even when we try to pay from the backend. Another problem is paying 20 dollars for each new project, even under one account. This seems odd since we already pay for one project with multiple hosts. The tool should improve its support. The time zone difference causes delays in communication, which can significantly impact production websites and servers. I'd rate the platform itself higher, but they still need improvements. They need to work on their billing system and create more understandable plans that clearly show costs based on bandwidth usage. A major challenge we faced was an unexpectedly high bill of 25 lakhs for one month when we usually pay only one or two lakhs (100,000-200,000 rupees). While they showed the bandwidth usage, we lacked support on optimising or implementing changes to reduce costs.
Previously, even premium members could view analytics longer, but the duration for accessing historical data has been reduced. The ability to view past analytics and tracking data has decreased. Vercel could improve this aspect of its user analytics.
If you're not using Edge Functions, Vercel only allows 20 seconds of streaming from the backend. They should allow more time for backend streaming without Edge Functions. This is one thing that Vercel can improve. I would like more time allowed for backend streaming. If you have a chatbot with text streaming, like ChatGPT, and you're not using the Edge router or Edge Functions, Vercel cuts off streaming after 10 seconds. The backend server without Edge Functions shuts down if it processes for more than 10 seconds.

In future releases, I would like to see AI-based capabilities in Vercel.
