UpdateSep 10, 2026VerifiedAdded Sep 22, 2026

FastAPI frontends and static files, served with app.frontend() or StaticFiles , are now promoted to the Vercel CDN at build time. Requests for those paths are served directly from the CDN, without invoking your Vercel Function. FastAPI evaluates routes in declaration order.
