Elastic Build Machines now protect against out of memory builds
By Steven Van ·
Elastic Build Machines auto-upgrade or retry on a bigger tier instead of failing builds outright, on Pro and Enterprise plans.
Vercel's Elastic Build Machines now watch a build's memory use while it runs and adjust machine size automatically to prevent out-of-memory failures.
- A build that's fast but memory-intensive is no longer downgraded to a smaller machine.
- A build approaching its memory limit is automatically upgraded to a higher tier.
- A build that fails with an out-of-memory error runs its next deployment on a higher tier automatically.
Thresholds are set conservatively to balance deployment reliability against cost, and only the build's own memory usage is considered, not memory used by Vercel's build infrastructure. Elastic build machines can be turned on in team or project settings.
