Vercel Workflows lets you pin run state to one region

Vercel now lets each Workflows run keep its state in one home region, per the company's changelog.

That's aimed at teams running durable agent workloads under EU residency rules, who previously built region-pinning themselves or skipped Vercel for regulated data. Neither option was good: extra infrastructure to maintain, or a split stack.

The setting solves two problems at once: where regulated data has to sit, and how far a request travels to write state. Before this, that gap meant a homemade workaround or skipping the platform for EU-regulated work.

The changelog doesn't list which regions are available for pinning. It also doesn't say whether a run already in flight can move to a new home region without a restart.

My take: this is Vercel closing a gap that's been quietly pushing EU-regulated, agent-heavy workloads to competitors or homegrown infra. Watch whether the published region list covers the EU zones that matter. A partial list makes this mostly cosmetic.
