New serverless database solutions from Vercel address growing demand for applications that can handle data storage and access at the edge.
What are Vercel's new serverless database solutions?
Vercel has launched a suite of serverless database solutions designed to enhance data storage and access at the edge. This includes Vercel KV, a Redis-compatible database; Vercel Postgres, a SQL database optimized for the frontend cloud; and Vercel Blob, a secure object storage solution. These tools aim to provide developers with low-latency and high-performance data access, addressing the increasing demand for edge applications.
How does Vercel KV differ from traditional key-value stores?
Vercel KV is a serverless, Redis-compatible database that offers features not typically found in traditional key-value stores. It is fully managed by a frontend application, allowing developers to benefit from key-value storage without the need to manage scaling or Redis clusters. This makes it particularly suitable for frontend needs like session management and custom rate-limiting.
What is Vercel Secure Compute and its benefits?
Vercel Secure Compute is a tool that enables enterprise businesses to create secure connections between serverless functions and their backend infrastructure. It allows for private network deployments with dedicated IP addresses and VPN support. This enhances security for enterprises by ensuring that their backend systems can connect securely to Vercel's platform, thus providing a more secure environment for application development.
