> **Note:** This changelog entry is historical. Edge Functions are deprecated for new projects. Use [Vercel Functions](https://vercel.com/docs/functions) with the Node.js runtime and [Fluid compute](https://vercel.com/docs/fluid-compute). Use [Routing Middleware](https://vercel.com/docs/routing-middleware) for request-time routing before a response completes.

Vercel now supports and automatically optimizes your [Hydrogen 2 projects](https://vercel.com/templates/remix/hydrogen-2) as of Vercel CLI `v31.2.3`. When importing a new project, it will detect Hydrogen and configure the right settings for optimal performance — including using [Vercel Edge Functions](https://vercel.com/docs/functions/runtimes/edge/edge-functions) for server-rendering pages.

Deploy the [Hydrogen template](https://vercel.com/templates/remix/hydrogen-2) or run `vercel init hydrogen-2` command in your terminal to get started.
