Vercel Deployment

Deploy frontend applications, Next.js projects, and serverless functions to Vercel with zero configuration.

Setup Time

~2 minutes

Complexity

Easy

Best For

Frontend & Serverless

Overview

Vercel is the optimal platform for deploying frontend frameworks like Next.js, React, Vue, and static sites. QODRYX provides seamless integration with Vercel, enabling automatic deployments, preview environments for pull requests, and environment variable synchronization.

Perfect for Next.js

Vercel is the company behind Next.js, making it the ideal deployment target for Next.js applications with automatic optimizations and edge functions.

Prerequisites

  • A Vercel account (free tier available)
  • A GitHub, GitLab, or Bitbucket repository connected to QODRYX
  • A frontend or serverless project (Next.js, React, Vue, etc.)

Step 1: Connect Vercel

First, connect your Vercel account to QODRYX:

  1. Go to Settings → Integrations in your QODRYX dashboard
  2. Find Vercel in the deployment platforms section
  3. Click Connect and authorize QODRYX
  4. Select the Vercel team/account you want to use
Dashboard

Settings → Integrations → Vercel → Connect

Step 2: Configure Project

Configure your project for Vercel deployment:

qodryx.config.yaml
deployment:
  provider: vercel
  
  # Project settings
  project:
    name: my-nextjs-app
    framework: nextjs  # auto-detected if not specified
    
  # Build settings
  build:
    command: npm run build
    output: .next
    
  # Environment variables
  environment:
    production:
      - DATABASE_URL
      - NEXT_PUBLIC_API_URL
    preview:
      - DATABASE_URL
      - NEXT_PUBLIC_API_URL
      
  # Vercel-specific settings
  vercel:
    team: my-team
    regions:
      - iad1  # Washington DC
      - sfo1  # San Francisco
    
    # Enable edge functions
    edge: true
    
    # Custom domain
    domains:
      - myapp.com
      - www.myapp.com

Step 3: Set Up Deployment Triggers

Configure when deployments should happen:

Automatic Deployments

By default, QODRYX triggers Vercel deployments:

  • Production: On push to main or master branch
  • Preview: On pull request creation or update
qodryx.config.yaml
deployment:
  provider: vercel
  
  triggers:
    # Deploy to production on main branch
    production:
      branches:
        - main
        - master
      # Only deploy if security scan passes
      require:
        - security-scan
        - tests
        
    # Preview deployments for PRs
    preview:
      pull_requests: true
      # Comment with preview URL on PR
      comment: true

Manual Deployments

Trigger deployments manually via dashboard or CLI:

Terminal
# Deploy to production
qodryx deploy --provider vercel --env production

# Deploy specific branch to preview
qodryx deploy --provider vercel --branch feature/new-ui

# Deploy with specific commit
qodryx deploy --provider vercel --commit abc123

Step 4: Environment Variables

QODRYX can sync environment variables to Vercel automatically:

qodryx.config.yaml
deployment:
  provider: vercel
  
  # Sync these secrets to Vercel
  secrets:
    sync: true
    mapping:
      DATABASE_URL: DATABASE_URL
      API_KEY: NEXT_PUBLIC_API_KEY
      
  # Or use Vercel's native env vars
  vercel:
    env_from_vercel: true

Security Note

Never commit secrets to your repository. Use QODRYX secrets management or Vercel's environment variables dashboard for sensitive values.

Preview Deployments

Vercel's preview deployments are automatically created for each pull request. QODRYX enhances this with:

  • Automatic security scans before preview deployment
  • PR comments with preview URL and scan results
  • Automatic cleanup when PR is closed

Example PR Comment:

🚀 Preview Deployment Ready

URL: https://my-app-git-feature-xyz.vercel.app

Security Scan: ✅ Passed (0 critical, 0 high)

Tests: ✅ 142/142 passed

Advanced Configuration

Edge Functions

Enable Vercel Edge Functions for ultra-low latency:

qodryx.config.yaml
deployment:
  provider: vercel
  
  vercel:
    edge: true
    
    # Specific routes for edge
    edge_routes:
      - /api/auth/*
      - /api/realtime/*

Custom Domains

Configure custom domains with automatic SSL:

qodryx.config.yaml
deployment:
  provider: vercel
  
  vercel:
    domains:
      production:
        - myapp.com
        - www.myapp.com
      staging:
        - staging.myapp.com

Monorepo Support

Deploy specific packages from a monorepo:

qodryx.config.yaml
deployment:
  provider: vercel
  
  # Monorepo configuration
  monorepo:
    root: apps/web
    install_command: pnpm install --filter web...
    build_command: pnpm --filter web build

Troubleshooting

Build Failures

Common build issues and solutions:

  • Missing dependencies: Ensure all dependencies are in package.json
  • Node version mismatch: Specify Node version in package.json engines field
  • Environment variables: Check all required env vars are set in Vercel

Deployment Not Triggering

  • Verify Vercel integration is connected in Settings
  • Check branch patterns match your configuration
  • Ensure security scan requirements are met
