SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Deploying to Vercel and wiring up CI/CD pipelines involves many CLI flags, environment variables, and provider-specific YAML configurations that are easy to get wrong, causing failed builds, hanging pipelines, or accidental production changes. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Deployment Command Guidance: Covers preview deploys, production deploys, prebuilt builds, promote, rollback, and inspect workflows with the Vercel CLI. - CI/CD Pipeline Templates: Provides ready-to-adapt GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, and Bitbucket Pipelines configurations with the required VERCEL_TOKEN, VERCEL_ORG_ID, and VERCEL_PROJECT_ID secrets. - Troubleshooting & Best Practices: Documents common build errors, deployment strategy patterns, and post-deploy observability steps. - Use Case: You want every pull request to produce a preview deployment and, after E2E tests pass, automatically promote the validated build to production without rebuilding. ## Quick Start Ask the assistant to set up a GitHub Actions workflow that builds with vercel build and deploys to production using vercel deploy --prebuilt.

FAQPage Schema
How do I deploy to Vercel from a CI pipeline?

Install the Vercel CLI in your CI job, then run vercel pull, vercel build --prod, and vercel deploy --prebuilt --prod with --token set to your VERCEL_TOKEN secret. You also need VERCEL_ORG_ID and VERCEL_PROJECT_ID configured as CI secrets.

What is the difference between vercel promote and vercel deploy --prod?

vercel promote instantly re-points the production alias to an existing validated deployment without rebuilding. vercel deploy --prod creates a brand new production build, which takes longer and produces a different artifact.

Does Vercel OIDC federation replace VERCEL_TOKEN in CI?

No. OIDC federation lets deployed Vercel functions authenticate to external services like AWS or GCP at runtime without static secrets. CLI commands such as vercel pull, build, and deploy in CI still require --token with VERCEL_TOKEN.

Why does my Vercel build fail with ERR_PNPM_OUTDATED_LOCKFILE?

This error means your lockfile does not match package.json. Run pnpm install locally to regenerate the lockfile, commit it, and push again so the remote build uses consistent dependency versions.

How do I roll back a Vercel production deployment?

Run vercel rollback to return to the previous production deployment, or vercel rollback <deployment-url-or-id> to target a specific deployment. This re-points the production alias without triggering a rebuild.
