Key features include:

  • It can be set as the execution region for Vercel Functions, and with Fluid compute, it improves resource efficiency, minimizes cold starts, and automatically scales based on demand.
  • Teams with Data Residency requirements in Canada can use the Montreal region to keep their execution environment within Canada.
