With the [Devin Outposts for Vercel integration](https://github.com/vercel-labs/devin-outpost-vercel), the control plane runs entirely on Vercel. No worker process needs to stay online, so you can start sessions from any device, including a phone. ## Related pages > **For AI agents:** Follow these links to understand how this page connects to the rest of the Vercel ecosystem.

The one-minute cron schedule and > up-to-24-hour sandbox sessions are not available on Hobby. ## How it works A [cron job](/docs/cron-jobs) invokes a function once per minute, which polls Devin's queue every three seconds for pending sessions. Each session maps to one sandbox: - **One microVM per session**: Each Devin session runs in its own named, [persistent sandbox](/docs/sandbox/concepts/persistent-sandboxes). - **State restoration**: A session resumes from the sandbox's newest snapshot; only the newest snapshot is kept after each stop. - **Network restrictions**: Devin allowlists become sandbox firewall rules. - **Automatic extension**: The integration extends the sandbox lifetime when less than 10 minutes remain. ## Getting started - ### Deploy the repository Click [Deploy with Vercel](/new/clone?repository-url=https%3A%2F%2Fgithub.com%2Fvercel-labs%2Fdevin-outpost-vercel\&integration-ids=oac_doeREEVvypk1AfuPfktJzjpZ\&project-name=devin-outpost-vercel\&repository-name=devin-outpost-vercel) and choose the destination Vercel team. The template comes from the [devin-outpost-vercel repository](https://github.com/vercel-labs/devin-outpost-vercel). - ### Add the integration Add **Devin Outposts for Vercel** when the Deploy Button asks for the required integration. - ### Authorize in Devin Sign in to Devin as an administrator, review the suggested outpost name, and click **Connect**. The browser never sees a Devin token or secret. The integration exchanges Devin's short-lived, single-use authorization code server-to-server and adds the encrypted runtime configuration to the new Vercel project. - ### Complete the deployment Let Vercel finish creating and deploying the project. Queue polling begins within one minute of the production deployment. > **💡 Note:** Cron jobs run only on production deployments, so a preview deployment never > polls the queue. - ### Start a session In Devin, start a session and select the new Vercel outpost as its virtual environment. ## Configuration Optional environment variables on the deployed project, with defaults: | Variable | Default | Description | | -------------------- | --------- | ------------------------------------------------------------ | | `SANDBOX_RUNTIME` | `node24` | Legacy Sandbox [runtime](/docs/sandbox/concepts/runtimes) | | `SANDBOX_VCPUS` | `2` | vCPUs per sandbox | | `SANDBOX_TIMEOUT_MS` | `1200000` | Initial session timeout (20 minutes), extended automatically | | `MAX_CONCURRENT` | `5` | Maximum concurrent sessions | | `POLL_INTERVAL_MS` | `3000` | Queue poll interval | `SANDBOX_RUNTIME` configures a legacy Sandbox [runtime](/docs/sandbox/concepts/runtimes). New SDK v3 sandboxes default to the Ubuntu-based `vercel/sandbox/universal:latest` [managed image](/docs/sandbox/concepts/images). For local development mode and the full variable reference, see the [devin-outpost-vercel repository](https://github.com/vercel-labs/devin-outpost-vercel) and the [Devin Outposts on Vercel Sandbox guide](/kb/guide/devin-outposts-vercel-sandbox). --- [View full sitemap](/docs/sitemap)
