01.Evaluation guide

Who it suits

Teams building on a framework the CDN understands natively, who want a predictable per-seat cost with metered usage on top. The Git integration covers GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket and Azure DevOps, so it drops into an existing review workflow.

Consider something else if…

The team is large enough that $20 per developer seat dominates the bill rather than the metered usage underneath it.

Managed connection poolingLimited
Sources (1) →
  • Connection Pooling with Vercel Functions — Vercel Guides ↗

    “On Fluid compute, the default execution model for new Vercel projects, Functions reuse global state within a warm instance. Multiple concurrent invocations share the same instance, so they can share a single database connection or connection pool instead of opening a new connection on every request. To pool connections safely, initialize your pool in the global scope and register it with attachDatabasePool from @vercel/functions [...] This helper closes idle connections before an instance suspends, which keeps your connection count under control.”
