New projects still default to Elastic build machines, which auto-scale and remain the recommendation for most use cases. Basic build machines can be enabled via team settings, project settings, or Vercel CLI 59.6.0+. Hobby accounts keep building on the same 2 vCPU machines, now branded Basic. Pricing stays at $0.0035 per vCPU per minute, or $0.007 per build minute. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.

Update the project configuration in team settings or project settings under build-and-deployment, or run the Vercel CLI command 'vc project update --build-machine basic' using CLI version 59.6.0 or later. Basic build machines have 2 vCPUs and 8 GB memory, while new projects default to Elastic build machines, which auto-scale and are recommended for most use cases. _daily.dev helps developers track Vercel build machine and CLI changes before they touch a deploy pipeline._ ### How much do Vercel Basic build machines cost compared to before? Basic build machines are charged at $0.0035 per vCPU per minute, working out to $0.007 per build minute, the same rate structure Vercel has used for its 2 vCPU machines.
