AI BriefingVercel Queues Launches in Public Beta
Key point
Vercel has launched **Vercel Queues**, an event streaming system built on Fluid compute, in public beta.
Details
Vercel Queues is a durable event streaming system built on Fluid compute, and it has now entered public beta, available to all teams. This service serves as the foundation for Queues, used for direct message publishing and consumption, and Workflow, used for multi-step orchestration.
It solves the problem of delaying expensive operations during function execution and ensures task completion even when functions crash or new deployments occur. It processes messages asynchronously, providing reliability through automatic retries and at-least-once delivery.
Here's how it works:
- Messages are sent to a durable topic
- The queue fans out messages to subscribed consumer groups
- Each consumer group processes messages independently
- Messages are resent until successfully processed or expired
Vercel Queues is billed per API operation, starting at $0.60 per 1 million. Key features include:
- Multi-AZ synchronous replication
- Custom visibility timeout and delayed delivery
- Idempotency keys and concurrency control
- Per-deployment topic partitioning
