Releasesby GlyphVercel Sandbox routing is now 18x faster globally
Requests to Vercel Sandbox public domains are now routed 18x faster. Domains created with the sandbox.domain() SDK call are now resolved from the nearest regional replica, instead of a single centralized store. Incoming requests reach the process running in the sandbox with less latency. Median domain lookup latency dropped from 62ms to 3.4ms (18x faster).

Shadow traffic for gateways (Preview)
With this preview release, you can use a shadow traffic gateway to send all production requests to a primary service endpoint while mirroring a percentage of those requests to one or more shadow endpoints. Responses from shadow endpoints aren't returned to clients.
