Hi there,

I benchmarked Vercel and Harper to see which was faster. Harper came out 4 to 14x faster on live, personalized reads.

Same app built twice, we sent 843,240 requests across 474 tests.

To be fair, Vercel's paid instance with their global CDN was 4ms faster than the free Harper cluster for static data.

But personalized reads can't be cached, and Vercel's caching superpower quickly becomes a crutch that limits performance.

So it's your call: will you spend more for slow personalization with Vercel, or speed things up with Harper?
