Note: This changelog entry is historical. Edge Functions are deprecated for new projects. Use Vercel Functions with the Node.js runtime and Fluid compute. Use Routing Middleware for request-time routing before a response completes.
During the private beta, we’ve made Edge Functions faster, more flexible, and more compatible with Node.js:
cache-control
standard
for function responses
region preference
WebAssembly workloads
for Enterprise and Pro teams
We’re excited to announce that beginning today, Edge Functions are now generally available so you can start executing more efficiently with instant “cold starts” to your functions for a better end-user experience.
For current projects, see Vercel Functions, Fluid compute, and the Edge Runtime reference.
