Summary

Vercel now promotes FastAPI frontends and static files to its CDN at build time, so requests for those paths are served directly from the CDN.

Key facts

Vercel announced the change on 2026-09-10.
FastAPI frontends and static files are promoted to the Vercel CDN at build time.
Serving uses app.frontend() or StaticFiles.
Requests for those paths are served directly from the CDN.

Why it matters

Teams running FastAPI apps on Vercel can have frontend and static asset requests handled by the CDN rather than the application, which may change how those paths are served.
