Edge Config is now Global Config. This rename better reflects that it is a globally replicated data store with ~1ms reads in every region, built for the configuration that applications read at runtime, such as feature flags, redirects, and experimentation settings.

Global Config stores can now hold up to 1 MB on every plan, and Pro and Enterprise teams can create unlimited stores with more writes per day. The rename also ships with a new server-side SDK, @vercel/global-config, and a new environment variable.

Copy link to headingWhat changed

  • Name: Global Config is the new name for Edge Config. The store itself is unchanged.

  • Package: @vercel/global-config replaces @vercel/edge-config as a drop-in replacement.

  • Environment variable: Connecting a Global Config store to a project creates a GLOBAL_CONFIG environment variable instead of EDGE_CONFIG.

  • Limits: Raised on every plan. Pricing is unchanged.

Copy link to headingWhat you need to do

  • Existing projects: no action required. Deployments, connected stores, and the EDGE_CONFIG environment variable continue to work.

  • Upgrading proactively is safe. The new SDK reads GLOBAL_CONFIG by default and falls back to EDGE_CONFIG, so it works with stores connected before and after the rename. You can switch packages today without touching your stores.

  • Creating stores and pushing new config values work without upgrading. Neither depends on which SDK version your project uses.

  • Upgrade before connecting new stores to a project. Connecting a store now creates a GLOBAL_CONFIG environment variable, and the legacy SDK only reads EDGE_CONFIG by default. A project still on @vercel/edge-config cannot read a newly connected store.

To upgrade, install the new package and update imports:

pnpm add @vercel/global-config

Installing the drop-in replacement package

- import { get } from '@vercel/edge-config'

+ import { get } from '@vercel/global-config'

Pricing is unchanged at $3 per 1,000,000 reads and $1 per 100 writes.
