Temps

Vercel charges per team seat while layering metered fees onto build minutes, bandwidth, and third-party observability integrations. Temps replaces that hosted pipeline with a single Rust binary that deploys code to a private Linux server alongside built-in analytics, error tracking, and datastores. Instead of paying recurring SaaS bills across half a dozen vendors, teams keep runtime traffic and telemetry entirely on their own infrastructure.

Why Temps instead of Vercel

Vercel delivers friction-free frontend deployments backed by a global CDN, but subscription expenses multiply as engineering teams expand. Between per-seat Pro pricing and surcharges for outbound bandwidth, serverless compute duration, and external subscriptions for Sentry and PostHog, monthly costs grow rapidly. Temps changes that cost curve by packaging deployment, routing, and telemetry into a unified self-hosted platform. A single modest Linux server hosts preview environments, production applications, and monitoring datastores with no incremental seat fees or invocation surcharges.

The trade-off is operational ownership. Vercel routes dynamic traffic across global serverless regions and absorbs DDoS spikes automatically. Temps runs on virtual or bare-metal Linux servers managed by your team, terminating traffic through Cloudflare's Pingora proxy engine and persisting telemetry in TimescaleDB. For engineering teams running long-lived Node.js, Go, or Python workloads alongside databases, Temps eliminates serverless execution timeouts and vendor lock-in while consolidating the hosting footprint.

What it does well

• Git push deployments with automatic framework detection for Next.js, Vite, Go, Python, and Rust, producing live preview URLs and zero-downtime rollouts.
• Built-in observability suite providing first-party web analytics, rrweb session replays, and Sentry-compatible error logging grouped via pgvector similarity.
• Reverse proxy powered by Cloudflare Pingora with automated Let's Encrypt TLS certificate generation, HTTP-01 and DNS-01 verification, and request logging.
• Managed service provisioning for PostgreSQL, Redis, MongoDB, and S3-compatible object storage directly through the administrative interface.
• Integrated transactional email engine that configures sender domains with DKIM validation and dispatches system notifications without external mail providers.
