Secure Compute and Static IP builds start 64% faster

Read on vercel.com

Summary

Vercel’s Secure Compute and Static IP builds now start 64% faster by using prewarmed containers, cutting the time from deployment creation to build start from 6.7 s to 2.4 s. The change is automatic and requires no user action.

  • Secure Compute and Static IP builds start ~64% faster, dropping from 6.7 s to 2.4 s.
  • Vercel now uses prewarmed build containers with network config attached at start, removing container boot latency.
  • The improvement is automatic; no configuration changes are required for affected builds.
  • Faster build start reduces overall deployment latency for edge‑focused workloads.

Teams deploying on Vercel with Secure Compute or Static IPs benefit from noticeably quicker deployment cycles.
