I have around 100 images which are less than 5MB combined, should i host them inside my nextjs app in the public folder or serve them from a CDN (supabase storage) and why?

As long is everything is suited, there is no need to use an external CDN.
Test it with public folder and if you hit limits, use a CDN

serve them via public folder. If all of your needs suited like that, you can keep that. Else switch to CDN. You'll know why you want to change when your public folder strategie does not work anymore
@Palomino how about cost wise? i heard vercel is overpriced when it comes to bandwidth
