please welcome to the stage  Vercel CEO Guillermo Rauch [Music and clapping] hello New York City have we all melted already  I mean it's like 900° out there for those of you watching at home we're cooking welcome to Vercel  Ship 2025 for the last 10 years we've been focused

on building the Frontend Cloud we wanted a  world where you didn't have to spend months weeks orchestrating 14 different services to build a B2B  SaaS a world where you can just ship things because to us shipping is what it's all about right I just  want to ship products we all just want to ship

products and it turns out a lot of people want  to ship products companies like DoorDash Peloton Notion have transformed their workflows and built  teams that can just ship the products their users want to see the Frontend Cloud was designed  to help teams fundamentally change how they build and ship apps it's three ways of building  that I recommend to everybody that I talk to

be flexible build with the tools you want and  change them out when you need to move fast who doesn't like fast spend time shipping experiments  and features instead of configuring CDNs god forbid and stay secure your apps should be secure  by default without a bolted on firewall this has become the standard for web development today  Vercel serves over 32 million active domains

140 billion weekly requests and now we've crossed  a trillion invocations on Fluid alone a trillion but if you look around the stuff that we're  talking about these days like realistically we're talking about in boardrooms on the X platform the  everything app it's becoming very clear the bar
