clapointe-carbonleo moves Mike off Cloudflare onto Vercel
A single-afternoon hosting swap, with a small self-inflicted detour along the way.
The team lifted both halves of Mike - the user-facing app and the backend service - off Cloudflare's hosting platform and onto Vercel, a competing host popular with web teams. The work shows up as a flurry of small, visibly iterative commits: new config files in, old ones out, deployment scripts trimmed, and the backend rewired to run as a serverless function rather than a long-running server.
One moment is instructive. Mid-migration, the team stripped out Amazon's storage libraries on the assumption they belonged to the old host - then put them straight back, because Cloudflare's file storage actually speaks Amazon's protocol. A small detail, but a reminder that fork maintainers move fast and sometimes prune things they still need. The CORS rules - which control who's allowed to talk to the backend - also got a sensible upgrade to a proper allowlist.
