Compute that takes any shape

Vercel describes Fluid as a unified compute system designed to rapidly assemble tailored, isolated environments for builds, functions, sandboxes, and agent workloads, reducing the need for developers to manage separate infrastructure primitives. Built on Hive for VM provisioning, Fluid Images for fast-resuming custom environments, and Vercel Drives for portable persistent storage, the platform aims to match compute resources to workloads ranging from CPU-intensive builds to I/O-focused functions and flexible agent sandboxes. Vercel says Fluid already powers more than 15 million daily builds, 25 million weekly sandboxes, and a trillion monthly requests, while allowing workloads to share instances and charging Active CPU pricing only when code is actively using CPU. The company presents the system as particularly suited to agents, which require immediate provisioning, strong isolation for untrusted code, customizable tooling, and state that persists across frequently replaced machines.
