Elastic build machines are now available in beta for all paid plans, giving teams control over build performance without project-level micromanagement. You can configure elastic builds at the team or project level.

Rather than a one-size-fits-all approach, Vercel evaluates each project individually and assigns the right machine for its actual needs. Smaller, simpler projects may benefit from cost-efficient [Standard](https://vercel.com/docs/builds/managing-builds#larger-build-machines) build machines while more complex workloads can automatically scale up to [Enhanced](https://vercel.com/changelog/enhanced-builds-now-have-double-the-compute) or [Turbo](https://vercel.com/changelog/turbo-build-machines-by-default-for-new-pro-projects) machines.

This smart assignment prevents over-provisioning, with teams automatically getting optimal performance at the right cost for every project.

Enable elastic builds in your [team settings](https://vercel.com/d?to=%2F%5Bteam%5D%2F~%2Fsettings%2Fbuild-and-deployment%23build-machines) or [project settings](https://vercel.com/d?to=%2F%5Bteam%5D%2F%5Bproject%5D%2Fsettings%2Fbuild-and-deployment%23build-machine), or read the [builds documentation](https://vercel.com/docs/builds).
