Vercel cuts Python function cold starts with build-time bytecode precompilation

Vercel has introduced a new feature that precompiles Python functions to bytecode during the build process. This optimization significantly reduces cold start times for median-sized functions, dropping them from 2.8 seconds to 1.3 seconds. Importantly, this improvement requires no modifications to existing code. AI

IMPACT Reduces latency for Python-based applications, potentially improving user experience and operational efficiency.
