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.
Update: As of June 9, 2025 Vercel Postgres was replaced with Vercel Marketplace Storage integrations, featuring automatic account provisioning and unified billing. Learn more.
The Vercel Postgres SDK has significantly improved performance for Postgres queries from functions using the Edge Runtime.
The @vercel/postgres package has been updated to use the latest version of Neon’s Serverless driver which adds support for SQL-over-HTTP when you use the sql template literal tag. Simple queries that do not require transactions now complete in ~10ms—up to a 40% speed increase.
You do not need to make any changes to your queries to see these improvements, you only need to update to the latest version of @vercel/postgres to take advantage of these improvements.
