Higher defaults and limits for Vercel Functions running Fluid compute

The default limits for Vercel Functions using have increased, with longer execution times, more memory, and more CPU.Fluid compute The default execution time, for all projects on all plans, is now 300 seconds (5 minutes): Memory and CPU instance sizes have also been updated: These increased instances are enabled by , which charges based on actual compute time. Periods of memory-only usage are billed at a significantly lower rate, making longer executions more cost-efficient.Active CPU pricing Y

Rolling Releases are now generally available

Rolling Releases are now generally available, allowing safe, incremental rollouts of new deployments with built-in monitoring, rollout controls, and no custom routing required. Each rollout starts at a defined stage and can either progress automatically or be manually promoted to a full release. You can configure rollout stages per project and decide how each stage progresses, with updates propagating globally in under 300ms through our fast propagation pipeline. Rolling releases also include: P

Vercel BotID is now generally available

Vercel BotID is an invisible CAPTCHA with no visible challenges or manual bot management required. BotID is a new protection layer on Vercel designed for public, high-value routes such as checkouts, signups, AI chat interfaces, LLM-powered endpoints, and public APIs that are targets for sophisticated bots mimicking real user behavior. Unlike IP-based or heuristic systems, BotID: Powered by , BotID integrates into your application with a :Kasadatype-safe SDK BotID traffic is visible in the Firewa

Vercel Queues is now in Limited Beta

Vercel Queues is a message queue service built for Vercel applications, in Limited Beta. Vercel Queues lets you offload work by sending tasks to a queue, where they’ll be processed in the background. This means users don’t have to wait for slow operations to finish during a request, and your app can handle retries and failures more reliably. Under the hood, Vercel Queues uses an append-only log to store messages and ensures tasks such as AI video processing, sending emails, or updating external

Introducing Active CPU pricing for Fluid compute

exists for a new class of workloads. I/O bound backends like AI inference, agents, MCP servers, and anything that needs to scale instantly, but often remains idle between operations. These workloads do not follow traditional, quick request-response patterns. They’re long-running, unpredictable, and use cloud resources in new ways.Fluid compute on Vercel, helping teams cut costs by up to 85% through optimizations like in-function concurrency.Fluid quickly became the default compute model Today,

​Introducing BotID, invisible bot filtering for critical routes

Modern sophisticated bots don’t look like bots. They execute JavaScript, solve CAPTCHAs, and navigate interfaces like real users. Tools like Playwright and Puppeteer can script human-like behavior from page load to form submission. Traditional defenses like checking headers or rate limits aren't enough. Bots that blend in by design are hard to detect and expensive to ignore. Enter BotID: A new layer of protection on Vercel. Think of it as an invisible CAPTCHA to stop browser automation before it
