Vercel Sandbox supports forking

Vercel News·

Vercel Sandbox now supports forking with Sandbox.fork().

The fork starts from the source's current snapshot and inherits its config and environment variables. If the source is running, it forks the latest saved state, not the live in-memory state. If the source has no snapshot, it falls back to a fresh create, using the source's runtime and config. Any parameter you pass overrides the inherited value.
