Starting on March 1st, 2025, we will begin the rollout of a new execution duration limit of 300 seconds for Vercel Functions using the Edge runtime. Previously, Edge Functions had no fixed timeout for streaming responses, leading to unpredictable behavior based on system resources and traffic. With this update, Edge Functions will consistently allow streaming responses for up to 300 seconds, including post-response tasks like waitUntil(). Learn more about Vercel Functions using the Edge runtime. Read more Continue reading...

We optimized the deploy step of the build process to reduce build times by 2.8 seconds at P99, 760ms at P75, and 410ms on average. For customers with a large number of Vercel Functions (100+), builds are more than 50 seconds faster. Several customers have time savings of over 2 minutes. Check out the documentation to learn more about builds. Read more Continue reading...

We've made improvements to Grep, our tool for quick code search. You can now search across 1,000,000 public git repositories The app has been rebuilt with Next.js 15, improving performance with Partial Prerendering Support for dark mode Try Grep today. Read more Continue reading...

Project Overview and Deployment Details pages now include a Deployment Configuration section under the deployment card. Expand to view snapshots of Fluid Compute, Function CPU, Deployment Protection, Skew Protection, and Secure Compute settings. This section is available for all new deployments moving forward. It will appear on your Project Overview page after your next production deployment. Read more Continue reading...

While dedicated servers provide efficiency and always-on availability, they often lead to over-provisioning, scaling challenges, and operational overhead. Serverless computing improves this with auto-scaling and pay-as-you-go pricing, but can suffer from cold starts and inefficient use of idle time. It’s time for a new, balanced approach. Fluid compute evolves beyond serverless, trading single-invocation functions for high-performance mini-servers. This model has helped thousands of early adopters maximize resource efficiency, minimize cold starts, and reduce compute costs by up to 85%. Read more Continue reading...

Vercel Functions can now run on Fluid compute, bringing improvements in efficiency, scalability, and cost effectiveness. Fluid is now available for all plans. What’s New Optimized concurrency: Functions can handle multiple requests per instance, reducing idle time and lowering compute costs by up to 85% for high-concurrency workloads Cold start protection: Fewer cold starts with smarter scaling and pre-warmed instances Optimized scaling: Functions scale before instances, moving beyond the traditional 1:1 invocation-to-instance model Extended function lifecycle: Use waitUntil to run background tasks after responding to the client Runaway cost protection: Detects and stops infinite loops and excessive invocations...

On-demand concurrent builds automatically and dynamically scale builds, increasing build capacity and shipping velocity. Starting today, new projects in Enterprise teams will use on-demand concurrency by default to eliminate build queue bottlenecks. You can turn this feature on for existing projects at any time with urgent on-demand concurrent builds or enable it at the project level. You are charged for on-demand concurrency based on the number of 10-minute build slots required to allow the builds to proceed as explained in usage and limits. Check out the documentation to learn more about on-demand concurrent builds . Read more Continue reading...

When Next.js introduced Incremental Static Regeneration (ISR) in 2020, it changed how developers build for the web. ISR combines the speed of static generation with the flexibility of dynamic rendering, enabling sites to update content without requiring full rebuilds. Vercel has supported ISR from day one, making it easy for teams at The Washington Post, Algolia, and Sonos to serve fresh content while keeping page loads fast. Read more Continue reading...

Incremental Static Regeneration (ISR) enables you to update content in the background without needing to redeploying your application. You can scale CMS or content-backed applications to millions of pages without having slow builds. We've optimized our infrastructure to make ISR faster and more cost-efficient: Smaller writes: ISR cache writes are now compressed by default, using fewer ISR write and read units (8KB chunks) per update and lowering Fast Origin Transfer (FOT) costs. Both reads and writes are now compressed. Region-aware caching: The ISR cache is now available in all regions and automatically aligns with your functions' region. If your project spans multiple regions, the most cost-effective location is chosen...

Monitoring now includes three new metrics for Edge Functions to provide a comprehensive view of your Edge Function activity and performance: Edge Function Invocations: Tracks the total number of times your Edge Functions are invoked, including both successful and errored calls Edge Function Execution Units: Measures the CPU time your Edge Functions use, calculated in 50ms increments Fast Origin Transfer (Incoming and Outgoing): Track data transfer rates to and from your origin servers These metrics are available for all Observability Plus and Monitoring customers. Monitoring recently became part of Observability Plus. Read more Continue reading...

You can now filter logs to display only requests made from your browser. This simplifies debugging by isolating your requests in high-traffic environments. It matches your IP address and User Agent to incoming requests. Visit your project's Logs tab and toggle the user filter to get started or learn more about runtime logs.

Starting today, when the Vercel Web Application Firewall (WAF) blocks a client with a persistent action, it will respond with a 403 Forbidden status instead of failing silently. This change now makes it clear that the connection is being intentionally denied. Persistent actions in the WAF help reduce edge request load and stop malicious traffic earlier, cutting down unnecessary processing for your applications. Learn more about persistent actions.

v0’s ability to import existing Figma files allows designers and developers to bridge the gap between design tools and AI-driven development. This feature extracts context from Figma files, along with any supplementary visuals, and passes them into v0's generation process. Read more Continue reading...

Unlike traditional cyberattacks that target code or infrastructure vulnerabilities, Denial of Wallet (DoW) attacks focus on draining a service's operational budget. At Vercel, we're building controls and anomaly detection to help you defend against these threats and protect your applications. Read more Continue reading...

The project overview page now shows a preview of your production traffic and firewall status. The Vercel Firewall automatically mitigates DDoS attacks for all Vercel deployments. You can further secure your site with custom rules and IP blocking, and by turning on Attack Challenge Mode when under high-volume attacks. On the project overview page you'll see the status of the firewall, requests blocked and challenged in the past 24 hours, and a warning if a reverse proxy is inhibiting Vercel's ability to protect your site. Vercel Web Analytics gives you insight into your site's visitors and traffic. When the feature is enabled, you'll see your site's traffic on the project overview page. Learn more about Vercel Web Analytics and Vercel...

The Vercel Toolbar extension is now available for Firefox, in addition to Chrome.
