Fluid is the thing that has enabled Vercel’s: Industry-leading Build performance Sandbox reliability & massive concurrency 30min Function durations (& soon longer)
This unification makes the best DX possible. Shared 𝙳𝚘𝚌𝚔𝚎𝚛𝚏𝚒𝚕𝚎, security perimeters, networking, file systems, across all compute products.
You already see this in some pretty unique Vercel capabilities, like our Builds and Functions being able to participate in the same Secure Compute boundary and config.
Imagine the same egress Firewall features for Sandbox that prevent agent escapes, applying to your Builds, Functions and Servers.
The future is one global and unified compute platform, with only known physics as the limiting factor
Vercel (@vercel): A sandbox, a function, a build, a server. They’re all expressions of the same underlying compute infrastructure on Vercel.
Fluid Compute is one system that creates the machine your workload needs, on demand.
