Vercel Boosts Function Package Size to 5GB
Vercel now supports Node.js and Python deployments up to 5GB in package size on Fluid compute, a 20x increase from the previous 250MB limit. The feature is in public beta, automatically enabled for new projects, and targets AI libraries, browser automation, and image processing. Existing projects can opt in via an environment variable.

This move makes Vercel more competitive for data-heavy backend workloads, but the beta label and opt-in requirement mean production readiness is still unproven.
