Building a compute layer that is highly-optimized for interactive workloads, server-rendering, and APIs We’re sharing a first look at a new version of Vercel Functions with support for in-function concurrency that brings the best of servers to serverless functions. We’ve been testing this new version with customers and are seeing a 20%-50% reduction in compute usage and respective cost reduction without latency impact. It’s a serverless product optimized specifically for interactive workloads such as server-rendering of web pages, APIs, and AI applications. Vercel Functions continue to offer native Node.js support with accelerated cold-start performance based on V8 bytecode and instance pre-warming for production workloads. Public beta: Enable in-function concurrency today In-function concurrency, now in public beta, allows a single function instance to handle multiple calls simultaneously. This optimizes efficiency by leveraging idle time, potentially cutting costs by up to 50%.…
