SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Deploying Next.js applications to Vercel involves subtle pitfalls like leaked secrets, misconfigured runtimes, and preview environments sharing production databases. This Skill provides expert guidance to avoid these mistakes and configure deployments correctly. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Environment Variable Management: Configure distinct variables for development, preview, and production environments without exposing secrets via NEXT_PUBLIC_. - Runtime Selection: Choose between Edge and Serverless runtimes for API routes based on API compatibility and cold-start requirements. - Build Optimization: Reduce bundle size and function cold starts while leveraging build caching. - Use Case: You are preparing a Next.js app for production launch. Use this Skill to audit environment variables, pick the right runtime per route, and set up isolated preview databases before going live. ## Quick Start Review my Next.js app configuration and tell me how to deploy it safely to Vercel production.

Frequently Asked Questions about vercel-deployment

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I deploy a Next.js app to Vercel?▼

Connect your repository to Vercel, configure environment variables per environment, and push to trigger a build. Use preview deployments to validate changes before promoting to production.

How do I set up environment variables for Vercel preview and production?▼

Define separate values for development, preview, and production in the Vercel project settings. Never reuse the production database in preview deployments; provision isolated databases per environment.

Should I use Edge or Serverless functions for Next.js API routes?▼

Choose Edge for low-latency routes that only need Web-standard APIs, and Serverless when you need full Node.js API compatibility. Verify API support before selecting the Edge runtime, since some Node.js APIs are unavailable.

Why are my secrets exposed in the browser on Vercel?▼

Variables prefixed with NEXT_PUBLIC_ are inlined into the client bundle and visible to anyone. Only use NEXT_PUBLIC_ for truly public values and keep secrets as server-only environment variables.

Why does my Vercel page show stale data after deployment?▼

Next.js caching layers can serve previously rendered content after a new deployment. Control caching behavior explicitly with revalidation settings or dynamic rendering to ensure fresh data.
