AI BriefingEdge Config has been renamed to Global Config
Key point
Vercel has renamed Edge Config to Global Config and significantly expanded its storage capacity and limits.
Details
Vercel's Edge Config has been renamed to Global Config to better reflect its nature as a globally replicated data store. This change focuses on delivering configuration needed for application runtime—such as feature flags, redirects, and experiment settings—at roughly 1ms read speeds from every region.
The key changes are as follows.
- Name and package: The name has changed to Global Config, and you should use the
@vercel/global-configSDK instead of the previous@vercel/edge-config. - Environment variable: When connecting a project,
GLOBAL_CONFIGis created instead ofEDGE_CONFIG. - Expanded limits: Store size has been greatly increased to up to 1 MB across all plans, and the store creation limit has been removed for Pro and Enterprise plans.
Existing projects will continue to work without any action required, but upgrading to the new SDK is recommended for connecting new stores or to fully take advantage of the latest features. Pricing remains the same as before, at $3 per 1 million reads and $1 per 100 writes.
