Summary
At Vercel Ship 2026 the company launched Vercel Services, available July 1, 2026, letting teams develop and deploy frontend and backend microservices together in one project with full preview environments and private service-to-service communication that never touches the public internet.
What changed
Vercel made Services available on July 1, 2026, so microservices are a first-class citizen: frontend and backend deploy together, share isolated preview environments, and communicate privately without going over the public internet.
Why it matters
Vercel has been a frontend-first platform; first-class backend services push it toward full-stack, letting teams keep more of their architecture, including agent-generated backends, on one deployment surface instead of stitching Vercel to a separate service host.
