Hello! We recently moved off of vercel to self hosted but noticed we hit IO throughput issues before RAM and CPU issues. This is across many servers in our prod environment. Is the cause of this being ISR and various caching? Is the solution to just use something like redis for global caching?

nope, custom image loader means its being handled by you and nextjs wont use .next
