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...

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...

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...

Vercel Observability now includes a dedicated dashboard for Image Optimization, providing deeper insights into image transformations and efficiency. This update follows the introduction of a new pricing model, and includes: Transformation insights: View formats, quality settings, and width adjustments. Optimization analysis: Identify high-frequency transformations to help inform caching strategies. Bandwidth savings: Compare transformed images against their original sources to measure bandwidth reduction and efficiency. Image-specific views: See all referrers and unique variants of an optimized image in one place. This dashboard is available to customers on all plans and is compatible with both the new and legacy pricing...

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...

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...

Observability's Vercel Functions dashboard now shows quick-view tiles with key metrics, such as: Active compute model, like Fluid compute, which enhances efficiency, minimizes cold starts, and optimizes performance Compute saved with Fluid compute enabled Average memory usage for your functions P75 Time to First Byte (TTFB) for performance monitoring Cold start frequency to track optimization impact These insights are available for all plans. Learn more about Observability and Fluid compute. Read more Continue reading...

You can now share deployments with external collaborators. Previously, invitations, access requests, and shareable links were limited to the preview URL for a branch or custom aliases. The share modal—accessible by selecting Share on a deployment page or from the Vercel Toolbar menu—now allows sharing the specific deployment you are on or the always up-to-date preview URL for the branch. Read more about sharing deployments. Read more Continue reading...

Vercel now supports Domain Connect, an open standard that simplifies DNS configuration. With one click, you can set up your domain without manually copying DNS records—saving time and reducing errors. Cloudflare-managed domains are now supported with more providers coming soon. To get started: Add a new domain to your Vercel project, and Vercel will detect if your domain qualifies for setup through Domain Connect, prompting you to proceed automatically or configure it manually. We're also implementing Domain Connect as a DNS provider, enabling external services to configure Vercel Domains just as easily. Learn more about Vercel domains. Read more Continue reading...

Visit your project’s Settings tab to customize your regions or learn more about configuring regions for Vercel Functions. Read more Continue reading...

Archive deployments are useful for deploying large projects with thousands of files from the CLI. We previously released the split-tgz archive deployment as a new archive option: vercel deploy --archive=split-tgz. This new capability offered up to 30% faster uploads and avoided file upload size limits. We’ve confirmed split-tgz’s stability and made it the default behavior for tgz. This means the separate split-tgz option is now deprecated as the split-tgz functionality and benefits power the default tgz option. Learn more about CLI archive deployments. Read more Continue reading...
