Vercel has announced Vercel Connect, a new product in its growing infrastructure suite. Based on the product name and Vercel's platform trajectory, Connect appears aimed at simplifying how developers integrate their Vercel deployments with external services, networks, or data sources. The launch continues Vercel's strategy of reducing the need for developers to leave its ecosystem for core infrastructure needs.
Cloudflare announced Application Services for Private Origins in closed beta. It routes public hostnames to private IP origins using existing IPsec, GRE, CNI, or Cloudflare Mesh paths. The feature is positioned for teams that want public application access without exposing origin public IPs or installing extra connector software.
