Nothing will ever be the same for developers. It's just incredible that you can build a complete application and deploy it in under 5 minutes. Vercel added Python support, and I'm in heaven!

Check it out here:

@vercel Deploying a whole app in five minutes while I spend an hour naming the project folder. Developers live in another century.

@vercel deploy in 5 min was never the slow part tbh the slow part is day 3, when env vars, a real db and auth show up python on vercel is great, curious how cold starts feel with heavy libs

@vercel deploy in 5 minutes was never the slow part

@vercel rip my dockerfile

@vercel Under 5 minutes to deploy is wild. Took me longer than that to remember which venv I was in. Python on Vercel is a big deal for those of us who never wanted to touch a Dockerfile again.

@vercel does it handle background jobs too or just request handlers

@vercel Build and deploy in under 5 minutes changes who gets to ship. I'm a dad building six projects with AI and I keep wondering: if shipping is that fast, is deciding what's worth building the new bottleneck?

@vercel Time to say No Docker

@vercel Great, now everyone builds their own app in 5 minutes. Finding customers is solved

@vercel whats the timeout looking like tho? most python agent loops i'd want to run take way longer than a normal request

@vercel deploy speed stopped being the bottleneck a while back. the hard part now is deciding what's worth deploying.

@vercel Python support definitely changes the game.

@vercel with a 5 minute deploy, user feedback can arrive before the team has committed to a full build.

@vercel What was the first python app you put on vercel? curious what you picked to test it 🙂

@vercel @grok does this come with database

@vercel Deploy speed stopped being the bottleneck a while ago. Now it's knowing what's worth building. I saw that over and over with 1,200+ builders. Shipping is easy, picking the right thing is the job.

@vercel The deploy step is where I've seen momentum die for a lot of non-dev founders. Python on Vercel removes one more excuse.

@vercel python on vercel matters more for ai people than for web people. so many agent backends are a fastapi file that never left localhost

@vercel Python on Vercel removes the last excuse for keeping a tiny FastAPI app on a forgotten VPS. How are cold starts looking for heavier libraries?

@vercel Deploying in five minutes was never the hard part. Python apps get interesting at minute six: cold starts, long-running jobs, and native dependencies that don't fit neatly into a serverless function.

@vercel under 5 minutes. naming it still takes me a week
