Vercel Drives Brings Durable State to Agents

Persistent filesystem state is the missing primitive that turns disposable agent sandboxes into resumable products, though it is not a replacement for a database or durable workflow engine.

• –Agents can resume code edits, research artifacts, dependencies, and model data without rebuilding their workspace.
• –Drive forks let parallel workers experiment from the same starting state without mutating the original. [Changelog](https://vercel.com/changelog/vercel-drives-is-now-generally-available)
• –The all-plans rollout lowers the barrier for smaller teams building stateful agents.
• –Region pinning and usage-based storage, read, and write costs make data locality and cost modeling important in production.
• –Vercel is assembling a credible agent infrastructure stack around Sandbox compute, persistent storage, and workflow durability.
