Moderate traffic vs cost question

Hi all, I have a React web app which is 3 years old now and brings in around 700k visits a year. It has the potential to spike quite regularly. On a “spike month” it can be double the average and has had around 6.5million visits since I launched. *it blew up on launch but the last 18 months has settled to around 60k visits on a normal month. I want to migrating it over to Next.js and deploying through Vercel but I’ve heard some horror stories about unexpected bills on Vercel from high volume.

The app only performs a single post request to a mySQL db, the payload is a single key/val so very short compute times server wise. Other than that the app is pretty self contained.

I understand to move all assets out of the public folder and host externally (uploadThing as an example).

Is there anything else I need to be aware of on the Next side of things before I pull the trigger?
