Chat SDK now supports concurrent message handling
By Steven Van ·
Chat SDK's new concurrency setting lets developers choose drop, queue, debounce, or concurrent handling for overlapping thread messages.
The Vercel Chat SDK now has a concurrency option on the Chat class, letting developers set what happens when a new message arrives on a thread before the previous one has finished processing.
- Drop (the default): discards the incoming message.
- Queue: processes the latest message once the current handler finishes.
- Debounce: waits for a pause in the conversation and processes only the final message.
- Concurrent: processes every message immediately, with no locking.
