Vercel Functions can now run on Fluid compute, a next-generation execution model that improves efficiency and reduces costs. It brings scalable, cost-effective compute without infrastructure complexity.

Fluid compute on Vercel combines serverless efficiency with server-like flexibility, reducing cold starts and cutting compute costs by up to 85%. Scale intelligently, minimize latency, and optimize performance with zero config.

Observability's Vercel Functions dashboard now shows quick-view tiles for advanced metrics, highlighting Fluid Compute and key insights to optimize projects on all plans.

See how Fluid combines server efficiency and serverless flexibility by reusing compute before creating new resources, reducing cold starts, and running in unconstrained environments while staying secure and fast. Cut compute costs by up to 85%.

Fluid compute is now enabled by default for all new projects on Vercel, bringing improvements in efficiency, scalability, and cost effectiveness.

Fluid compute now supports both background and on-demand revalidations across all Vercel projects. This update brings the same performance and efficiency improvements to on-demand cache updates, with no configuration changes required.

Fluid, our newly announced compute model, eliminates wasted compute by maximizing resource efficiency. Instead of launching a new function for every request, it intelligently reuses available capacity, ensuring that compute isn’t sitting idle.

Fluid compute now gracefully handles Node.js uncaught exceptions and unhandled rejections to provide better isolation between requests.

Fluid compute now uses Active CPU pricing. Only pay CPU rates when your function is actively computing. Building on existing Fluid gains, this brings additional savings of up to 90% for workloads like LLM calls, AI agents, or tasks with idle time.

You can now enable Fluid Compute on a per-deployment basis. By setting "fluid": true in your vercel.json

Fluid Compute outperforms Cloudflare Workers by 1.2x–5x in server-side rendering benchmarks, offering faster, more consistent response times through an optimized in-region architecture.

The AI Gateway is a simple application deployed on Vercel, but it achieves scale, efficiency, and resilience by running on Fluid compute and leveraging Vercel’s global infrastructure.
