hey, little confused, your strapi project is scraping (visiting each entry) in your nextjs project?

No.. Strapi works only as a CMS/API. I built my Next.js app locally and suddenly Strapi started to timeout, and I couldn't make any kind of request to it anymore

maybe you got ip ban? Railway has a cringe ip ban if you do a lot of requests from the same IP

Well, It timed out from the server too…

its probably an IP ban then

your nextjs spin up, do a lot of requests from the same vercel IP and gets ip ban

This is nonsense. They should just charge my project for the usage. What if I'd have a project making 500 request per second? What I'm supposed to do then?

completely agree, nonsense to ban ip for a lot of requests

tbh i've no idea on how you can solve that, maybe deploy your nextjs project to Railway and use private networking? There's tailscale but I doubt its possible to spin up Tailscale in Vercel in a easy way

this should be something for the team to lookup if possible, IMO its a platform problem

Now it's responding. Anyways, how I'm supposed to generate the 600 static pages…

or if maybe nextjs offers a way to throttle the static pages generation

They could actually be 5000. It's a matter of time

Yes, I'll take a look

as long as you don't do a lot in a short time, it should work, it'll probably be painful slow tho

thalles gave a very good answer -

deploy your nextjs project to Railway and use private networking

these are logs from vercel, when you see these logs, are you still able to access strapi from your own local computer?

Already tried to deploy Next.js to Railway. A site with 50 users per day would make the project cost $5 - $10 per month… that's why a pay for Vercel for that. I'd love to just deploy everything in Railway

In my PC it was the same, for a moment

then its not an ip ban.. unless you live inside the aws data center?

and btw, can you still access the strapi through the browser after that happens?

I couldn't access the strapi admin for about 10 minutes. Now I can

https://fda-strapi.up.railway.app

thats not a ban then, thats strapi locking up

Yes.. that's what I thought

maybe its not? @bmariano are u still not able to access?

you can add more replicas to spread out the load

try to run the nextjs static generation, when you get an ip ban lmk that i'll try to access the strapi url

if it works for me then its an ip ban

Brody said it's not

they cant access it from their own computer after running a build on vercel

that would be two different ips

oh from vercel? got it wrong then

I said "from the server" but yes, it was Vercel

yeah these are vercel logs

go ahead and up the replica count to 3

.

I'll try and let you know, give me a moment

Will that make it more expensive?

while running next on railway wont help elevate any load from strapi, what is stopping you from deploying next to railway?

slightly yes, since its running 3x of your strapi apps

Now I have like… 15 projects in Railway. ~12 have a Strapi and a Postgres DB. Once I thought that, I could bill to my clients exactly what I pay by just deploying everything in Railway since it has usage-based pricing, different from Vercel. When I added the Next.js app to the project, the pricing basically doubled even they had ~1000 users per month

I did that with 2 projects I think

so what you are saying is that next on railway costs more than next on vercel given your current user base?

Yes, I pay the $20 of Vercel and I have 50 Next apps there. Some apps are used by 50k users/m, others are simple websites for 200 users

okay thats fair, thanks for sharing

I'll try increasing the replicas and let you know here, thank you

sounds good
