What problem does it solve?
Cost inefficiencies in Next.js/Vercel projects arise from patterns across bandwidth, compute, invocations, and image optimization. vercel-cost-guard identifies 22 cost-driving patterns and guides teams to preemptively address expensive configurations. It helps teams prepare for launches, respond to unexpected bills, and continuously optimize cost.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Audits for 22 cost-causing patterns across bandwidth, compute, invocations, and image optimization.
- Scans for large uncompressed media, missing preload attributes, uncached API routes, AI streaming without timeouts, N+1 DB queries, unscoped middleware, accidental dynamic rendering, payload limit violations, ISR/static generation gaps, and configuration issues.
- Generates actionable fixes, guidance, and estimated savings, tailored to Next.js projects and Vercel pricing.
Quick Start
Run the 22 cost checks against a Next.js project using the built-in Glob, Grep, and Read tools to generate a cost-audit report.
