Previously, we added opt-in support for skipping builds with unchanged code in monorepos to reduce build queueing. This behavior is now the default for new projects. To enable deployment skipping in an existing project, visit the Build and Deployment settings for the project. Additionally, this setting has been added to the Vercel provider for Terraform in 2.10.0. Learn more about skipping deployments. Read more Continue reading...

We’ve optimized our Image Optimization infrastructure, including: 60% faster transformations New, opt-in reduced pricing Previously, usage was measured by the number of unique source images ($5 per 1K source images). You can now opt into usage based on transformations with regional pricing, starting from: Image Transformations: $0.05 per 1K image transformations Image Cache Reads: $0.40 per 1M cache read units Image Cache Writes: $4.00 per 1M cache write units This new pricing model is opt-in through your project settings. There are no changes to existing customers using Image Optimization New projects for existing customers will also have no changes New customers will start on the new pricing today Pro...

Marketplace integration providers can now register integration actions for deployments, allowing for automated resource-side tasks such as database branching, environment variable overrides, and readiness checks. When a user deploys a project that has connected Marketplace integration with configured actions, the deployment will pause and wait for all integration actions to complete successfully. This ensures that the deployed resources are properly set up before the deployment proceeds. Users will also receive helpful suggestions within the integration about which actions are available and should be executed. Learn more about integration actions. Read more Continue reading...

This dashboard is available to customers on all plans and is compatible with both the new and legacy pricing...

The Flags SDK—our open source library for using feature flags in Next.js and SvelteKit applications—is now available under the new package name flags. The new name signals our commitment to open source and the independence of the package from any specific entity or platform. Our framework-first approach of the SDK aims to simplify usage, avoid client-side flag evaluation, and improve user experience by eliminating layout shifts. We are working on adapters with partners like Statsig, Optimizely, and LaunchDarkly to ensure a seamless integration with the Flags SDK. Until now, each provider established their own approach to using feature flags in frameworks like Next.js, which led to duplicate efforts across the industry and drift in...

The new @vercel/related-projects package helps sync deployment information across separate Vercel projects, ensuring your applications always reference the latest preview or production deployment URLs without manual updates or environment variable changes. Previously, developers had to manually enter deployment URLs, manage connection strings, or use environment variables to keep the projects communicating effectively. Now, this data is automatically available and updated at both build and runtime. For example, a monorepo containing: A frontend Next.js project that fetches data from an API An backend Express.js API project that serves the data Related Projects can now ensure that each preview deployment of the frontend...
