## AI overview

Vercel made its deployment step about 10% faster by combining per-function routing metadata into one manifest upload. The improvement applies automatically to all builds.

## Source excerpt

The deployment step is now about 10% faster, saving one second on average. Large applications can save up to 12 seconds.
