Repeating a prior comment I've made about this[0]: I run a rust webserver on a €4 VPS from hetzner that serves 300M (million) requests a day.
From what I can figure out, Vercel charges "$0.60 per million invocations" [1], which would cost me $180 per day.

I run a Rust webserver on a literal Pi3 in my basement and I think I managed to bench it up >1000 rps for standard loads. And that includes a bunch of tanvity querying as well.
I suspect I could do 3000+ rps with some tuning and a more modern CPU or hetzner VPS, but there's some fun cachet from running on an old Pi while there's still headroom.
