This post details Vercel's platform-level improvements to support Next.js 16.3's features: immutable static assets, faster routing at scale, and enhanced observability for prefetching and ISR/PPR.

It also describes optimizations to the route metadata serving layer for faster routing on large sites and introduces new observability features for prefetch requests, ISR revalidations, and Partial Prerendering (PPR).
