Vercel Bun Functions hit 5GB, 30 minutes
Vercel Functions running Bun now support up to 5GB uncompressed packages and 30-minute execution times on Fluid Compute in beta. The upgrade targets heavier backend workloads, including AI libraries, browser automation, media processing, and long-running tool calls.
This pushes Vercel’s Bun runtime closer to serious backend infrastructure, though the beta and plan restrictions still make it better for selective workloads than universal migration.
- –The 5GB limit removes a major barrier for dependency-heavy applications and large generated clients.
- –Thirty-minute execution windows fit long LLM workflows, document processing, browser automation, and streaming responses.
- –Fluid Compute is required, with availability focused on Pro and Enterprise teams.
- –Long-running synchronous functions still need careful timeout, retry, and cost management; queues and durable workflows remain preferable for critical jobs.
- –Bun on Vercel remains in beta, so teams should validate compatibility and performance against Node.js before switching production workloads.
