Today, Vantage announces support for Vercel usage and costs in the Vantage console, allowing customers to track and analyze their Vercel spend alongside the rest of their cloud and SaaS infrastructure. Customers can now connect their Vercel accounts from the Integrations page, and Vantage will automatically ingest and categorize usage to understand how their frontend and edge infrastructure costs on Vercel contribute to overall application spend.

Vercel is an AI cloud platform that provides the tools and infrastructure to build, scale, and secure intelligent applications. Vercel enables teams to build and host applications through a number of managed cloud offerings, such as CI/CD, Content Delivery, Compute, and Observability, as well as AI-first offerings such as v0, AI Gateway, Vercel Workflow, and Vercel Agent. Costs are driven by usage across dimensions like Serverless Functions, Edge Functions, bandwidth, build minutes, and AI-related compute. Customers are billed based on consumption of these services. Customers often use Vercel alongside other infrastructure and tooling providers, such as GitHub, Datadog, or MongoDB, and need to perform chargeback and showback of all-in application pricing across all providers they utilize.

Now, with the launch of Vercel cost support in Vantage, customers can connect their Vercel account to Vantage through the Vercel Community Integration and automatically ingest cost and usage data into Vantage. This allows Vantage to retrieve costs by various Vercel services, such as Vercel Functions, Delivery Network, and Observability, as well as their usage categories, teams, projects, and more. Customers can use these attributes to allocate costs to teams through Virtual Tags, detect anomalies of Vercel usage, and analyze costs alongside other infrastructure contributing to costs of applications and services.

The Vercel integration is now available to all Vantage customers. To connect your account, go to the Integrations page in account settings and select Vercel. You can learn more via the new Vercel section in Vantage’s documentation.
