Vercel reports cutting the average wait between deployment creation and build start from 6.7 seconds to 2.4 seconds for Secure Compute and Static IP builds. Previously, each build waited for a new container to boot with its network configuration. The change uses prewarmed containers and attaches the network configuration when the build starts. It applies automatically. The reported 64% improvement concerns startup waiting time, so its effect on a complete deployment depends on how long the subsequent build takes.
Key takeaways · AI-distilled
The average time from deployment creation to build start for Secure Compute and Static IP builds dropped from 6.7 seconds to 2.4 seconds, per Vercel's own measurement.
The speedup comes from switching to prewarmed build containers that already have the network configuration attached, rather than booting a fresh container with its network config for every build as before.
The improvement applies automatically to existing Secure Compute and Static IP builds with no configuration changes required.
