Vercel Sandbox Now Generally Available Worldwide

·2026.08.24 13:00

Key point

Vercel Sandbox has launched globally across 4 regions, offering region selection and failover capabilities to reduce latency.

Details

Vercel Sandbox has begun general availability worldwide. The initial service regions are iad1 (Washington D.C.), sfo1 (San Francisco), cle1 (Cleveland), and cdg1 (Paris), with iad1 set as the default region.

Users can select a nearby region to reduce latency with external services such as databases or object storage. Region selection is available on all plans, and Pro and Enterprise teams can additionally configure failover regions. If the primary region becomes unavailable, new sandboxes are automatically started in the nearest configured failover region.

Snapshots are pinned to the region where they were created and cannot be moved; sandboxes can only be created or restored within the same region. However, in the event of a failover, Vercel automatically handles cross-region snapshot loading.

Region configuration is possible via the latest versions of the SDK or CLI. You can specify the default and failover regions through the project settings screen or CLI commands, or directly override them by passing the region and failoverRegions options in SDK code.
