Hey. I have recently deployed my next.js (pages directory) to aws amplify and I'm gonna be honest. I'm not too happy with the cold start speed, despite having set up health checks through route 53 among other "hacks". Is it better to migrate to EC2 instead and how would that process look like?

vercel and netlify can have execution timeout errors for full crud apps with nextjs. EC2 would be the better choice esp if you're trying to see how far you can get with a free tier
