What's Changing

Turbo build machines are now the default configuration for all newly created Pro projects on Vercel, as well as for any Hobby projects that upgrade to the Pro plan. This change simplifies the onboarding experience and ensures teams immediately benefit from enhanced build performance without manual configuration.

Performance Improvements

Teams that have adopted Turbo build machines report meaningful speed gains across different build scenarios:

• Short builds (under 2 minutes): up to 30% faster
• Medium builds (2-10 minutes): up to 50% faster
• Long builds (over 10 minutes): up to 70% faster

These improvements stem from Turbo build machines providing 30vCPUs and 60GB of memory—a significant jump from standard build infrastructure.

Getting Started

Existing Pro projects retain their current build machine configuration by default, but users can customize settings at any time through the Vercel settings dashboard. The feature is available across all paid plans, with documentation available for teams looking to optimize their build setup further.
