Is AWS security boundary the AWS account? Are you expecting Vercel to provision and manage an AWS account per user? That doesn’t make any sense man, though makes sense if you’re a former AWS employee.

Yes the security boundary is the AWS account.
It doesn’t make sense for a random employee who mistakenly uses a third party app to compromise all of its users it’s a poor security architecture.
It’s about as insecure as having one Apache Server serving multiple customer’s accounts. No one who is concerned about security should ever use Vercel.

You really have no clue what you’re talking about don’t you? Were you a sales guy at AWS or something?
He works for an AWS consulting company, where they promote cloud native solutions, driving cloud spend towards AWS. In many cases, managed cloud services are actually the way to go.
However, to say that serving multiple customers with Apache is "insecure" is inaccurate. There are ways to run virtual hosts under different user IDs, providing isolation using more traditional Unix techniques.
Hey, knock it off. If you disagree with someone, present a substantive counterargument.

Well, I know that you have never heard of someone using a third party SaaS product at any major cloud provider compromising all of their customers accounts.
Are you really defending Vercel as a hosting platform that anyone should take seriously?
