"We built Hive because we needed finer control and more granular management to continuously improve Vercel's infrastructure."
The platform is made up of a system of regional clusters called 'hives', each functioning independently with its own failure boundary.
At the technical level, Hive uses Kernel-based Virtual Machine (KVM) technology and Firecracker, an open-source MicroVM developed initially at AWS to improve AWS Lambda and AWS Fargate.
Vercel has further streamlined the build process by pre-warming cells, allowing most builds to start immediately without having to wait for the cells to be created.
