Summary

Today, Vercel is announcing a suite of serverless storage solutions, including Vercel KV for key-value stores like Redis, Vercel Postgres for SQL databases, and Vercel Blob for easy file storage at the edge. These solutions are designed to be open, easy to use, and scale as efficiently as Vercel's frontends. The need for performance and personalization is driving a shift towards server-first and edge-first architectures, making these new solutions ideal for building on the web. With Vercel KV, developers can create Redis-compatible databases that persist in memory and on disk by default, while Vercel Postgres provides a fully managed, highly scalable SQL database built for the frontend cloud. Vercel Blob offers an effortless yet powerful storage API built entirely on top of web standards, making it easy to store files at the edge. These new solutions build on Vercel's existing integrations with database partners and make it easy for developers to manage their frontend storage needs without worrying about infrastructure.
