What the current evidence supports

Human editorial judgment · 2026-08-20

Track; not yet

Why
The pricing innovation is genuinely mature (default on, trillion+ invocations) but it is intrinsic to Vercel's platform; our ecosystem deploys on Cloudflare Workers/Pages, so it is a reference point for active-CPU economics rather than an adoptable component.
Next
Note as the benchmark serverless-cost model; only evaluate seriously if/when a platform's hosting moves off Cloudflare Workers to Vercel, since our stack is Cloudflare-native.
