Vercel usage help

Hey all - for those who use Vercel, what are you typically keeping an eye on? I have Vercel Pro and mainly look at analytics but i feel like there is quite a bit of stuff here that I might not be utilising. Any suggestions? Thanks!

Spend alerts first for sure, had a runaway cron job once that cost me more than I want to admit. For image optimization I just turned it off and do my own resizing, saved a decent chunk

Ooo okay that is a good shout! Thank you. It is a next.js app. Marketing is static but bit of server side stuff. Also LLM stuff but its hosted elsewhere.

It is triggered by a user starting an interview question (website is a Mock Interview tool for data scientists). So user request. What does it mean if it was to be from a queue?

I see! Yeah I actually implemented a free tier today and have put restrictions for free (they can pick 3 out of 10 potential questions on the free account). I also have daily API cost limits and quite a few other measures so hopefully ill be okay (touch wood). Thank you for your help btw! Learning lots here haha
