Vercel Functions can now run on Fluid compute

Vercel Functions can now run on Fluid compute, bringing improvements in efficiency, scalability, and cost effectiveness. Fluid is now available for all plans.

What’s New

• Optimized concurrency: Functions can handle multiple requests per instance, reducing idle time and lowering compute costs by up to 85% for high-concurrency workloads

• Cold start protection: Fewer cold starts with smarter scaling and pre-warmed instances

• Optimized scaling: Functions scale before instances, moving beyond the traditional 1:1 invocation-to-instance model

• Extended function lifecycle: Use waitUntil to run background tasks after responding to the client

• Runaway cost protection: Detects and stops infinite loops and excessive invocations

• Multi-region execution: Requests are routed to the nearest of your selected compute region for better performance

• Node.js and Python support: No restrictions on native modules or standard libraries
