Vercel BotID is now generally available

Vercel BotID is an invisible CAPTCHA with no visible challenges or manual bot management required. BotID is a new protection layer on Vercel designed for public, high-value routes such as checkouts, signups, AI chat interfaces, LLM-powered endpoints, and public APIs that are targets for sophisticated bots mimicking real user behavior. Unlike IP-based or heuristic systems, BotID: Powered by , BotID integrates into your application with a :Kasadatype-safe SDK BotID traffic is visible in the Firewa

Vercel Agent now in Limited Beta

Vercel Agent is now available in . Agent is an AI assistant built into the Vercel dashboard that analyzes your app performance and security data.Limited Beta Agent focuses on Observability, summarizing anomalies, identifying likely causes, and recommending specific actions. These actions can span across the platform, including managing firewall rules in response to traffic spikes or geographic anomalies, and identifying optimization opportunities within your application. Insights appear contextu

Vercel Queues is now in Limited Beta

Vercel Queues is a message queue service built for Vercel applications, in Limited Beta. Vercel Queues lets you offload work by sending tasks to a queue, where they’ll be processed in the background. This means users don’t have to wait for slow operations to finish during a request, and your app can handle retries and failures more reliably. Under the hood, Vercel Queues uses an append-only log to store messages and ensures tasks such as AI video processing, sending emails, or updating external

Introducing Active CPU pricing for Fluid compute

exists for a new class of workloads. I/O bound backends like AI inference, agents, MCP servers, and anything that needs to scale instantly, but often remains idle between operations. These workloads do not follow traditional, quick request-response patterns. They’re long-running, unpredictable, and use cloud resources in new ways.Fluid compute on Vercel, helping teams cut costs by up to 85% through optimizations like in-function concurrency.Fluid quickly became the default compute model Today,

​Introducing BotID, invisible bot filtering for critical routes

Modern sophisticated bots don’t look like bots. They execute JavaScript, solve CAPTCHAs, and navigate interfaces like real users. Tools like Playwright and Puppeteer can script human-like behavior from page load to form submission. Traditional defenses like checking headers or rate limits aren't enough. Bots that blend in by design are hard to detect and expensive to ignore. Enter BotID: A new layer of protection on Vercel. Think of it as an invisible CAPTCHA to stop browser automation before it

Agents, Workers, Workflows - Run AI-generated code on-demand with Code Sandboxes (new)

AI is supercharging app development for everyone, but we need a safe way to run untrusted, LLM-written code. We’re introducing Sandboxes, which let your Worker run actual processes in a secure, container-based environment. import { getSandbox } from "@cloudflare/sandbox"; export { Sandbox } from "@cloudflare/sandbox"; export default { async fetch(request: Request, env: Env) { const sandbox = getSandbox(env.Sandbox, "my-sandbox"); return sandbox.exec("ls", ["-la"]); }, };

Durable Objects, Workers - @cloudflare/actors library - SDK for Durable Objects in beta

The new @cloudflare/actors library is now in beta! The @cloudflare/actors library is a new SDK for Durable Objects and provides a powerful set of abstractions for building real-time, interactive, and multiplayer applications on top of Durable Objects. With beta usage and feedback, @cloudflare/actors will become the recommended way to build on Durable Objects and draws upon Cloudflare's experience building products/features on Durable Objects. The name "actors" originates from the actor programmi
