Definition
The term, in context
AI-assisted draft · approved dataset
Fluid Compute is a serverless execution model from Vercel that lets one function instance handle multiple concurrent in-flight requests, instead of spinning up a separate instance per request. Its Active CPU pricing meters only the time actually spent executing code, pausing the compute-time meter while a request is blocked waiting on a database or another network call.
