Deploying to Vercel

Vercel offers frictionless deploys for static and server-rendered apps with preview URLs and edge features.

Steps

1. Connect Git repo (GitHub/GitLab/Bitbucket).
2. Configure build command and output directory.
3. Add Environment Variables via the dashboard.
4. Use Preview deployments for PRs and Production for main branch.

Best practices

• Cache build artifacts and use incremental builds for frameworks that support them.
• Secure environment variables and secrets.
• Monitor builds and use analytics to track performance.

Example: set build command for Next.js

npm run build

Preview URLs simplify collaboration between developers and reviewers.
