CLI updates Netlify CLI 21.4.1 has a cleaner look, simplified workflows, and a new command. Install the latest version: npm install netlify-cli -g # or yarn global add netlify-cli Onboard to Netlify projects with netlify clone command Pull an existing Netlify project locally from its repo with one command: netlify clone <repository-url> Clones the repo and links it to the right Netlify site–ideal for onboarding or switching projects. Builds are included with netlify deploy The deploy command now runs a build step by default, eliminating separate build commands. Instead of netlify build && netlify deploy or netlify deploy --build, simply run: netlify deploy To deploy without building, use netlify deploy --no-build. Smarter manual setup...

The Next.js team recently disclosed CVE-2025-32421, a low-severity vulnerability allowing for CDN cache poisoning in some scenarios. The engineering team at Netlify has confirmed that all Next.js sites on Netlify are not vulnerable. The vulnerability requires use of a CDN that may cache responses without explicit Cache-Control headers, but Netlify's CDN never does so. As a general security precaution, we recommend upgrading to the latest versions of the Next.js framework and allowing automatic updates of the OpenNext Netlify Next.js adapter. Continue reading...

A low severity cache poisoning vulnerability was discovered in Next.js. Summary This affects versions >14.2.24 through <15.1.6 as a bypass of the previous CVE-2024-46982. The issue happens when an attacker exploits a race condition between two requests — one containing the?__nextDataRequest=1 query parameter and another with the x-now-route-matches header. Some CDN providers may cache a 200 OK response even in the absence of explicit cache-control headers, enabling a poisoned response to persist and be served to subsequent users. Affected Versions Next.js versions >14.2.24 through <15.1.6 Impact This vulnerability allows an attacker to poison the CDN cache by injecting the response body from a non-cacheable data request...

Since 2014, Consensys has shaped the web3 movement with tools like and Linea, Infura, and MetaMask—the most widely used self-custodial wallet on the web, with millions of users across the globe. As the blockchain ecosystem quickly matured, the need for a site that could move as fast as the teams building it became clear. To meet that demand, Consensys migrated MetaMask.io to Next.js and Vercel, creating an architecture built for scale, speed, and continuous iteration. Read more Continue reading...

Vercel’s CDN, which can proxy requests to external backends, now caches proxied responses using the CDN-Cache-Control and Vercel-CDN-Cache-Control headers. This aligns caching behavior for external backends with how Vercel Functions are already cached. This is available starting today, on all plans, at no additional cost. Per the Targeted HTTP Cache Control spec (RFC 9213), these headers support standard directives like max-age and stale-while-revalidate, enabling fine-grained control over CDN caching without affecting browser caches. You can return the headers directly from your backend, or define them in vercel.json under the headers key if your backend can't be modified. No configuration changes or redeployments required. Return...

You can now block AI crawlers and scrapers like GPTBot (OpenAI), ClaudeBot (Anthropic), PerplexityBot, Bytespider (ByteDance), and others with a single toggle using the AI bot managed ruleset. Now available for free on all plans. The ruleset is managed by Vercel and updates automatically as new crawlers appear with no additional action required. This protection operates with zero latency impact to legitimate traffic. For more complete coverage, combine with Bot Filter to catch AI bots that attempt to spoof user agents to disguise themselves as legitimate browsers or omit proper identification headers. AI crawlers now generate more traffic than human users on many popular sites, driving up infrastructure costs and raising copyright...

The Resources tab is replacing the Functions tab for deployments in the Vercel Dashboard, allowing you to see more than Functions. You'll now see the Resources tab when viewing a deployment in the Vercel Dashboard where you can see, search, and filter: Middleware: Any configured matchers Static Assets: Files (HTML, CSS, JS, images, fonts, and more) and their sizes Functions: The type, runtime, size, and regions You can use the three dot menu (...) to jump to the Logs, Analytics, Speed Insights, or Observability tab filtered to a given function. Read more about using the Vercel Dashboard to view and manage your deployments. Read more Continue reading...

Open source runs the world. The frameworks, libraries, and tools we rely on are strengthened by communities that share ideas, review code, and build in the open. At Vercel, we want to help those communities thrive. That’s why we launched the Vercel Open Source Program: a developer initiative that gives maintainers the resources, credits, and support they need to ship faster and scale confidently. Four times a year, we’ll welcome a new cohort of projects into the program. Members receive $3,600 in Vercel credits, perks from partners, and a dedicated Slack space to learn from one another. Today we are announcing this spring's cohort. Read more Continue reading...

We’ve increased the proxied request timeout—the maximum duration Vercel’s CDN waits for your external backend to begin sending data—from 35 seconds to 120 seconds. This extended timeout is now available on all plans at no additional cost. The proxied request timeout defines how long our CDN allows your external backend to respond before canceling the request. After the initial byte is received, your backend can take longer than two minutes to complete the request, as long as it continues sending data at least once every 120 seconds. This update improves reliability for workloads with long processing times, such as LLM generation or complex data queries, and reduces the chance of 504 gateway timeouts. This change is effective...
