Elastic Build Machines Now in Beta

Vercel has released elastic build machines in beta, available to all teams on paid plans. This feature automatically evaluates each project's requirements and assigns the appropriate build machine tier—Standard, Enhanced, or Turbo—without requiring manual per-project configuration.

How It Works

Rather than forcing teams to choose a single machine tier for all projects, elastic builds use intelligent assignment:

• Smaller projects receive cost-efficient Standard machines
• Complex workloads automatically scale to Enhanced or Turbo machines with more compute power
• Smart evaluation prevents over-provisioning by matching machine resources to actual needs

This approach balances performance optimization with cost efficiency across your team's entire project portfolio.

Getting Started

Teams can enable elastic builds in two ways:

• Team-level configuration: Apply elastic builds as the default across all projects
• Project-level configuration: Enable elastic builds for specific projects that need the feature

Access the settings via your team settings or individual project settings under Build and Deployment, or consult the builds documentation for more details.
