Vercel Finally Caught Up

it happened verscel actually shipped i feel like it's been a while since Verscell dropped a bunch of things at once like many years by now the last two Next.js comps were relatively low in terms of new features both for Next and for Versell that changed today they dropped a ton of things I've been personally waiting for forever from a new pricing model to cues to a way to run code that's sandboxed from your users to even handling captions properly it's kind of nuts how much stuff they drop that I've needed for a while it almost feels like they've been looking through my Twitter and hitting all the check boxes for all the things that I've been bothered by recently that all said

Verscell has not paid me for a long time in fact quite the opposite i spend a lot of money paying them nowadays especially with the success of T3 chat so someone's got to cover today's bill and if I'm going to be honest it can't be them so quick word from today's sponsor and then we'll dive right into what I think about everything Versel just shipped one of the biggest changes I'm seeing from AI is the willingness of big enterprise companies to adopt tools by small teams and companies themselves it's kind of crazy to see that small businesses like my own with T3 Chat are getting interest

from much much bigger enterprises there's one big thing that's hard to get right though o and no AI is not going to solve this problem for you setting up O in a way that these big businesses are willing to use and adopt and integrate in their systems is something that I wouldn't wish on my worst enemy and that's why I'm so pumped about today's sponsor Work OS these guys made it way easier to get your application and most importantly your authentication ready for enterprise adoption you can take my word for it or you can look at the absurd number of companies that you're already using software from that have made the move themselves from cursor to

OpenAI to Verscell to Carta to Vanta to so many more i always smile a bit when I open up the cursor dashboard and see the work OS like offkit signin it's cool to know that they're using the same tools we use every single day i've personally chatted with GMO about offplatforms like work OS and he told me really early on that he regretted not adopting one earlier i think we could have done even more business if we had partnered with work OS earlier it's been incredibly wellreceived i couldn't agree more they found an incredible balance of making

something enterprise ready for these IT teams to integrate and something that's actually nice to use for us as full stack TypeScript developers it's awesome that they found this balance and we're seeing more and more people adopt it for that reason if you're tired of thinking about O and are ready to just ship check out work OS today at soyv.link/workos let's dive in going to do a real quick overview of the things that they changed so that we can keep ourselves on track the one that I'm personally most excited about is the active CPU billing it's going to be a real fun one to talk about and specifically why it matters they

added the sandboxing for code runs specifically for user submitted code or more importantly AI generated code cues finally and then their capture killer solution that is actually looking very compelling it seems like they they learned all the right lessons from the things I've been complaining about with captas if you haven't watched my capture video already obviously I'm biased cuz I made it but I think it's one of the best videos I ever did so check it out if you haven't very practical applicable information on how to set up captions and rate limiting in your services properly they also officially dropped

the AI gateway which is their alternative to something like open router actually looks pretty compelling we'll dive into that too so let's start with the active CPU billing cuz I am so excited about this again I'm biased because this is going to save me a ton of money to understand this we need to understand how servers are built if I have one server and I don't know let's say that this server costs us $10 a month this server is just one server if it gets no users or it gets a,000 users or it gets a million users we have our

fixed rate it's 10 bucks a month but what happens if this server can only have I don't know 500 users concurrently at its peak then you need to spin up more servers maybe you need to keep them live for the whole month or maybe you're dynamically spinning them up and down you end up in the the wonderful Kubernetes hell that we've all seen and I've often made fun of as you need to spin up more servers and remember to spin them down and wait for them to spin up and possibly lose traffic in that time not fun and that's why the world started moving towards a serverless
