The power of servers, in serverless form

Fluid compute combines the efficiency of servers and the flexibility of serverless, enabling real-time, dynamic workloads like APIs, streaming, and AI.

Efficiency gains that pay off

Server-like concurrency, in a serverless world

In-function concurrency enables a single Vercel Function to handle multiple invocations simultaneously, optimizing resource usage and turning efficiency gains into savings.

Traditional serverless wastes idle time.

It fails to efficiently utilize available resources during periods of inactivity.

Fluid maximizes available compute time.

This significantly optimizes your compute footprint and resource efficiency.

Many of our API endpoints were lightweight and involved external requests, resulting in idle compute time. By leveraging in-function concurrency, we were able to share compute resources between invocations, cutting costs by over 50% with zero code changes.

Fluid compute for dynamic web applications

In-function concurrency

Run multiple invocations on a single function instance, reducing idle compute time and lowering costs​.

Cold-start reduction

Functions are pre-warmed and optimized with bytecode caching, ensuring faster response times​.

Streaming

Send data to users as it becomes available, improving performance for AI, media, and real-time apps​.

Cross-region failover

Ensures high availability by rerouting traffic to backup regions during outages​.

Dynamic scaling

Automatically adjusts concurrency and resource allocation based on real-time demand​.

Post-response tasks

Keep functions running after sending a response to handle tasks like logging or database updates​.
