Vercel has increased the maximum runtime for its Sandbox environment to 24 hours, a significant jump from prior shorter limits. This change benefits developers building AI agents, background processors, and other tasks that require sustained, isolated execution. The update makes Vercel Sandbox more competitive as a backend for long-horizon autonomous workflows.
Vercel has updated its Workflow SDK to support inflight cancellation, enabling developers to programmatically halt workflows that are already in progress. This addition gives teams finer control over long-running or event-driven processes without waiting for them to complete naturally. The feature is particularly useful for managing costs, handling user-triggered aborts, and improving overall workflow reliability.
Vercel has increased the maximum execution duration for Vercel Functions to 30 minutes, up from previous limits. This change unlocks support for longer-running server-side tasks such as AI inference pipelines, data processing jobs, and complex backend workflows. Developers building on Vercel can now handle workloads that previously required dedicated infrastructure or external job queues.
Vercel announced a billing change titled “Function invocations now billed per unit.” Without the full changelog text, the confirmed takeaway is limited to the billing basis for function invocations. Teams using Vercel Functions should review invocation-heavy APIs, background jobs, webhooks, polling, and AI workflows, but should not assume exact pricing or plan impact without checking the official billing details.
Vercel says Amazon OpenSearch Serverless is now available through the Vercel Marketplace. The provided source includes only the title, so implementation details such as provisioning flow, billing, credentials, regions, or v0 support cannot be confirmed. The update mainly signals broader AWS infrastructure availability inside Vercel’s marketplace, relevant to teams building search, analytics, observability, or retrieval features on Vercel.
