Vercel Sandbox now supports creating Sandboxes with only 1 vCPU and 2 GB of RAM. This is ideal for single-threaded or light workloads which don't benefit from additional system resources. When unspecified, the default is still 2 vCPUs and 4 GB of RAM.

Get started by setting the resources.vcpus option in the SDK:

import { Sandbox } from "@vercel/sandbox";
const sandbox = await Sandbox.create({
  resources: { vcpus: 1 },
});

Or using the --vcpus option in the CLI:

sandbox create --connect --vcpus 1
