Request collapsing for ISR cache misses
The Vercel CDN now prevents cache stampedes by collapsing simultaneous requests on expired ISR pages into a single function invocation per region. This improves reliability, reduces backend load, and saves compute at scale with automatic application to cacheable routes.
The Vercel CDN now prevents cache stampedes through on an expired page into a single function invocation per region. Without collapsing, simultaneous requests each trigger regeneration, wasting compute and overloading backends. With collapsing, one request regenerates the page while others wait and return the cached result.request collapsingIncremental Static Regeneration (ISR)
This improves reliability, reduces backend load, and saves significant compute at scale.
The feature is applied automatically for cacheable routes. Cacheability is inferred from framework metadata, so no configuration is required.
Implementation details are available in the .Preventing the stampede: Request collapsing in the Vercel CDN blog post
