Vercel
Vercel's platform moved toward tighter control and flexibility across execution, caching, and feature management. The company graduated Vercel Flags to general availability, adding framework-native flag definitions for Next.js and SvelteKit while supporting the OpenFeature standard for other stacks. The AI Gateway expanded significantly—Claude Opus 4.7 arrived with task budgets and improved agentic execution, and Seedance 2.0 brought multimodal video generation (text-to-video, image-to-video, video editing) without requiring separate provider accounts. On the infrastructure side, new projects now respect upstream cache-control headers by default, Sandbox persistence moved to beta for automatic filesystem snapshots, and elastic build machines entered beta to right-size compute per project.
Vercel shipped infrastructure improvements and security responses across caching, build machines, and sandbox persistence. The Axios supply chain attack on March 31st prompted immediate remediation—blocking malicious versions and C&C access from build infrastructure—while new projects defaulted to respecting upstream cache headers starting April 6th. The SDK layer expanded with Sandbox automatic persistence (saving filesystem state on stop and restoring on resume), Chat SDK concurrent message handling and Slack scheduling, file permission control in sandbox writes, and Activity Log integration into the CLI, while elastic build machine assignment moved to beta to right-size compute per project.
