Framework-defined infrastructure
Vercel introduces framework-defined infrastructure, an evolution of IaC that automatically provisions infrastructure by parsing application code. This approach reduces DevOps complexity and cost through truly serverless architecture.
is the industry-standard practice for provisioning infrastructure in a repeatable and reliable way. is an evolution of IaC, where the deployment environment automatically provisions infrastructure derived from the framework and the applications written in it.Infrastructure as code (IaC)Framework-defined infrastructure (FdI)
The best way to understand it is that a build-time program parses the source code written to a framework, understands the intent behind the code, and then automatically generates the IaC configuration needed to run the software. This means more predictable, lower cost, and lower risk DevOps through truly serverless—dare we say, —architecture.infrastructureless
In this article, we’ll explain how framework-defined infrastructure fits into modern views of infrastructure definition and automation. We’ll then show examples of how framework-defined infrastructure improves the experience of developing in open-source frameworks.
