Effortless high availability for dynamic frontends

On Tuesday, February 6th, 2024, Vercel's multi-layered approach to frontend resiliency was discussed. The company's Frontend Cloud is designed for high availability from the ground up, ensuring robustness against large-scale regional cloud outages at every layer of its architecture. This includes making it easy for customers to run their compute on Vercel with a highly resilient system. The article explains how optimized global routing and highly available compute resources contribute to this resiliency, along with multi-AZ and Multi-Region redundancy, and the use of Edge Config for configuration updates with minimal latency. These features eliminate the need for additional configuration or maintenance overhead for high availability in multi-region cloud infrastructure.
