## The brief

Vercel reported on September 8 that Sandbox domain lookups fell from a median 62 milliseconds to 3.4 milliseconds after routing moved from one central store to nearby regional replicas. The change affects public domains created through sandbox.domain() and is applied automatically. Vercel says pricing is unchanged; the reported 18-fold improvement measures domain lookup latency, rather than an entire application's response time.
