Hi, I didn't understand why next.js is hosted in vercel where you have digitalOcean accounts. Does FrontEnd/NextJS and Backend/Appwrite needs to host separately ? if so, can't this be achieved via creating another droplets?

I wanted to have front end and backend hosted separately to try it out. It was the first time I got a chance work something with digital ocean. Hence the two separate hosting platforms.

To answer ur question , yes u can have separate droplet to host ur next.js application.

[Rushabh Patil](https://hashnode.com/@rushabh557) I am working on it. You can still go with next.js 12 for now if u are building an app for the hackathon
