My team and I are currently developing an application in NextJS. There are five of us on the project
and the usage in production is not intensive by any stretch of the imagination. However we have
around 70k edge requests per month, 80% of which come from one particular region. We have indexed the site through Google. I wouldn’t expect service to be popular since the application is going to be public in a few months and the targeted region is not from which all of the requests come from. No marketing was done yet. I also realized that the home page was targeted by wordpress bots, and people trying to find php exploits, so I added firewall rules so that those requests get denied. This reduced the number of serverless invocations by a big margin.
I wonder if the blocked requests by the firewall still count towards edge requests, and if so what is the best way to negate them completely? I also wonder if this amount of edge requests out of
production is usual?
Hi,
Vercel does not charge customers for traffic that is blocked by the Firewall. Let us know if you have any question. If you are on Pro plan, you can also contact us using Help form.
