When I started Vercel, my vision was simple: make building for the web more accessible and more powerful. That belief has fueled Vercel’s growth, empowering developers to bring their biggest ideas to life. Today, we’re welcoming Jeanne DeWitt Grosser, former Chief Business Officer at Stripe, as Vercel’s Chief Operating Officer to help further this mission. Vercel is building the foundation to power the next billion developers. Achieving this vision requires strong leadership and operational excellence. As COO, Jeanne will lead our go-to-market function.

Every second, Vercel blocks attacks before they reach your applications—keeping businesses online and developers focused on shipping, not security incidents. Vercel’s security capabilities combine real-time DDoS mitigation, a powerful Web Application Firewall (WAF), and seamless SIEM integrations to provide always-on protection without added complexity. Here’s what happened in the last quarter.

While dedicated servers provide efficiency and always-on availability, they often lead to over-provisioning, scaling challenges, and operational overhead. Serverless computing improves this with auto-scaling and pay-as-you-go pricing, but can suffer from cold starts and inefficient use of idle time. It’s time for a new, balanced approach. Fluid compute evolves beyond serverless, trading single-invocation functions for high-performance mini-servers. This model has helped thousands of early adopters maximize resource efficiency, minimize cold starts, and reduce compute costs by up to 85%.

Tremor is an open source library built on top of React, Tailwind CSS, and Radix. It consists of 35 unique components and 300 blocks that can be copy-pasted to build visually rich and interactive dashboards. The Tremor community has seen impressive growth with over 16,000 stars, 300,000 monthly downloads, and 5,500,000 installs to date. Today, Tremor and its cofounders Severin Landolt and Christopher Kindl are joining Vercel’s Design Engineering team where they'll be working on UI components for the Vercel Dashboard, v0, and more. This acquisition strengthens our commitment to open source and providing developers with the best tools for building exceptional user interfaces.

Last week at AWS re:Invent 2024, the Vercel team met with thousands of builders in the Developer Solutions Zone, celebrated v0's launch on AWS Marketplace, and hosted hundreds of customers and partners with various event activations. Now, we're taking our AWS Partnership further: Vercel has been selected for a Strategic Collaboration Agreement (SCA) with AWS—to deliver the next generation of AI-enabled developer tooling and experiences. This collaboration underscores the value of Vercel and AWS together as a one-stop shop for teams building AI experiences.

Grep allows developers to quickly search code across over 500,000 public git repositories. With the acquisition, founder Dan Fox will also be joining Vercel’s AI team to continue building Grep to enhance code search for developers.

The Frontend Cloud is designed for developers and teams that care deeply about user experiences. Whether you're serving billions of users or building your first project, the Frontend Cloud helps you remove friction from the development and delivery process. This allows you to focus on building your product instead of managing and configuring the infrastructure required to make it work.

Last October we introduced v0—a generative user interface system powered by natural language and AI. Users generated over four million designs, creating everything from sophisticated dashboards to polished marketing pages. Now, v0 is like having an expert programmer sitting next to you. It's an assistant that specializes in web technologies and frameworks to help you generate functional code and UI from best practices, migrate or debug existing code, or learn to code for the first time. Starting today, v0 is available to teams of all sizes, with plans designed to help you collaborate and scale securely. v0 Team and v0 Enterprise plans offer security features like SSO and, for Enterprise, the ability to opt out of data training, while helping you share and reuse knowledge and generations across your whole team.

Last year, we added storage solutions to our platform, introducing our first-party Blob and Edge Config, as well as partner solutions like Postgres by Neon and KV by Upstash. We heard your feedback—you want more providers and different types of integrations. Today, we’re launching the first version of the Vercel Marketplace. It supports storage solutions from Supabase, Redis, and EdgeDB, at the same price as going direct. These integrations come with features like integrated billing, direct connections to provider consoles, and more.

Vercel Ship 2024 was all about the power of the frontend cloud, highlighting the integrations, ecosystem, and teams building the web's best products.

Vercel’s Frontend Cloud is all about giving you and your team the tools to prioritize the user experience—so you can focus on what makes your product great and quickly iterate together with your team.

In any given week, Vercel blocks around 1 billion suspicious TCP connections, with some days seeing upwards of 7 billion malicious requests. The Vercel Firewall has been silently mitigating DDoS and Layer 3/4 attacks, but it's been operating as a black box with limited transparency.
