[Streaming](https://vercel.com/docs/functions/streaming-functions) will soon be enabled by default for all [Node.js Vercel Functions](https://vercel.com/docs/functions/runtimes/node-js#using-the-node.js-runtime-with-serverless-functions).

This change will be effective for Hobby accounts starting **July 8th, 2024; **and for Pro and Enterprise accounts starting **October 1st, 2024**.

To enable streaming as the default immediately for all your Vercel Functions, set the `VERCEL_FORCE_NODEJS_STREAMING` environment variable in your project to `true`. Streaming will be enabled on your next deployment.

Streaming responses from functions will change the [format and frequency of your runtime logs](https://vercel.com/docs/functions/streaming-functions#runtime-logs). If you are using Log Drains, you should ensure that your ingestion pipeline can handle the new format and increased frequency.
