I'm involved in starting up a project with Next.js. Can experienced devs let me know your opinion or any potential pitfalls?

Long story short it's a proof of concept demo/exploratory project.

Currently, using Next.js app router, multi-root routes for stuff like (marketing), (app), (login), etc.

Db is Neon for the branching, will probably include Vercel AI SDK for AI stuff since its likely I'll be asked to include some AI functionality.

The only worry is I'm unsure with how this serverless layer/backend? interact with user authentication / authorization when used with the BetterAuth.

Currently hosting on Vercel, I feel like Next.js is married with Vercel for hosting. Although maybe because I'm unfamiliar with it, since Next.js made it quite simple and straightforward to do host quick proof-of-concepts on Vercel.
