Node.js runtime now defaults to version 24 for Vercel Sandbox

Vercel Sandbox for Node.js now uses Node.js 24 by default. This keeps the Node.js runtime aligned with the latest Node.js features and performance improvements.

If you don’t explicitly configure a runtime, Sandbox will use Node.js 24 (as shown below).

import { Sandbox } from "@vercel/sandbox";

  const sandbox = await Sandbox.create();

  const version = await sandbox.runCommand("node", ["-v"]);

  console.log(`Node.js version: ${await version.stdout()}`);

}

main().catch(console.error);
