Fluid: How we built serverless servers
Vercel's Fluid compute platform, combining serverless infrastructure with active CPU pricing, now powers over 45 billion weekly requests and cuts customer costs by up to 95%.
A few months ago, we announced , an approach to serverless computing that uses resources more efficiently, minimizes cold starts, and significantly reduces costs. More recently at , we introduced for even more cost-effective compute on Vercel.Fluid computeVercel Ship 2025Active CPU pricing Fluid compute with Active CPU pricing powers over 45 billion weekly requests, saving customers up to 95% and never charging CPU rates for idle time.
Behind the scenes, it took over two years to build the required infrastructure to make this possible. Read more
