For a decade, Vercel has shaped how the web is built. Now, we’re doing the same for agents. The companies that win the next decade will build on infrastructure designed for agents from the start, and thousands of people gathered across London, Berlin, New York, Sydney, and San Francisco to do just that at Vercel Ship 2026.

Every year, Black Friday and Cyber Monday reveal how people shop, browse, and discover products at global scale. For Vercel, the weekend doesn’t require a different operating mode. The platform behaves the same way it does every day, only with higher traffic volume. A live dashboard showed the traffic as it played out. This year, traffic reached more than 115.8 billion total requests, reflecting 33.6% year-over-year growth with consistent performance throughout the events. The traffic shape told a familiar story. Requests dipped on Thanksgiving as people stepped away from screens, then surged on Black Friday, stayed elevated through the weekend, and built into a second wave on Cyber Monday.
