If you serve AI-generated media or user uploads from Vercel Blob, you can now block or rate-limit abusive traffic at the edge before it hits your store or your bandwidth bill, using the same WAF rules already available for your app.
Key quotes
“Rules are evaluated at Vercel's edge, so a denied request is turned away before any data transfer occurs.”
“Unwanted traffic to AI-generated media, user uploads, or paid downloads never reaches your store and never generates a bill.”
“Rules that match on properties like IP address, country, and path can deny, challenge, or rate limit requests to your stored objects.”
