- Pricing: Fluid compute bills for the time your code is actually running, so an idle server, parked on a slow query or an upstream API, isn't burning CPU while it waits. You pay for execution time, not wall time.

Vercel announced that any Dockerfile can now be deployed on its platform. Adding a Dockerfile.vercel file to a project causes Vercel to build, store, deploy, and autoscale the image on Fluid compute, with billing based on active CPU time rather than wall time. The feature supports any language or framework that listens on $PORT and includes preview deployments, autoscaling, and integrated observability.

## Evidence

Verbatim from https://vercel.com/blog/dockerfile-on-vercel:

> Add a Dockerfile.vercel file to your project, and Vercel builds, stores, deploys, and autoscales the image on Fluid compute, so you pay only for the CPU your code uses.
