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.

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
