Full Fact Overview
Vercel has expanded its Sandbox observability suite to include memory usage metrics, complementing existing CPU and data transfer monitoring. Users can now view memory consumption in the dashboard, which features a dedicated card displaying average, P75, and P95 values, along with a visual reference line at 85% of the sandbox memory limit. Additionally, the memoryUsedBytes measure is now available in the Observability query builder for custom alerting. For CLI users, the 'vercel metrics' command now supports the 'vercel.sandbox.memory_used_bytes' metric, allowing for project-specific or team-wide aggregate analysis with min, max, and average value reporting.
