Vercel now uses uv, a fast Python package manager written in Rust, as the default package manager during the installation step for all Python builds.

This change makes builds 30-65% faster and adds support for more dependency formats. In addition to requirements.txt or Pipfile, projects can now declare dependencies with a uv.lock or pyproject.toml file.

You can now invalidate CDN cache contents by tag.

This marks all cached content associated with the tag as stale. The next request serves stale content instantly while revalidation happens in the background, with no latency impact for users.

There are several ways to invalidate content:

• Dashboard Settings

• Vercel CLI

• Function API

• REST API

In addition to invalidating by tag, you can also dangerously delete by tag if the origin is gone. However, deleting the cache can increase latency while new content is generated or cause downtime if your origin is unresponsive, so use with caution.

Available on all plans. Learn more about cache invalidation.

Pro and Enterprise teams can now use Static IPs to securely connect to external services like databases that require IP allowlisting. Traffic from builds and functions routes through consistent, shared static IPs.

To enable Static IPs, you can access Connectivity > Static IPs from your project or team settings.

Static IPs are offered in addition to Secure Compute, which remains available for teams that need a fully dedicated VPC model. Note, Secure Compute has also moved within the Connectivity settings of your projects and teams.

This is part of our move to bring more enterprise features self-serve.
