Elastic Build Machines now protect against out of memory builds
Elastic build machines now monitor your build's memory usage and automatically adjust to prevent out-of-memory (OOM) failures:
- If your build is fast but memory-intensive, Vercel will no longer downgrade you to a smaller machine
- If your build is close to running out of memory, it will automatically upgrade to a higher tier
- If your build fails due to an OOM error, the next deployment will automatically run on a higher tier
Thresholds are set conservatively to balance deployment reliability and cost. Enable elastic builds in your team or project settings.
