(I work at Vercel) We do have DDoS protection, and spend limits. We're imminently launching improvements to both of these as well Importantly, OP was on a free tier on Netlify which does allow you to pay for additional usage on demand. Vercel's free tier does not – if you are on a hobby plan and you go over the included usage, your site will be paused automatically.
