Note: This changelog entry is historical. Edge Functions are deprecated for new projects. Use Vercel Functions with the Node.js runtime and Fluid compute. Use Routing Middleware for request-time routing before a response completes.
Functions using the Edge runtime now run on the unified Vercel Functions infrastructure.
This applies to both before and after the cache:
Routing Middleware is now Vercel Routing Middleware, a new infrastructure primitive that runs full Vercel Functions with Fluid compute before the cache
Edge Functions are now Vercel Functions using the Edge Runtime after the cache
Edge Middleware and Edge Functions are deprecated. They have been replaced by Vercel Routing Middleware and Vercel Functions, respectively. Both support the Edge runtime, Node.js, and more.
With these changes, all functions including those running the Edge runtime are:
Fluid compute-ready: Runs on Fluid compute for better performance and cost efficiency
Multi-runtime: Supports Node.js and Edge runtimes
Framework-driven: Deployed automatically from supported framework code
Consistent pricing: Uses unified Vercel Functions pricing based on Active CPU time across all compute types
Vercel Routing Middleware is now generally available to all users.
