Deploying Astro / Next.js on Vercel, custom domains, debugging build failures.
Vercel feels native to Next.js, but Astro, SvelteKit, and Nuxt deploy just as easily. This hub gives you a reusable "git push to live" checklist and how to debug the most common build failures.
Vercel renamed Edge in 2025 and Fluid compute killed most cold starts. Here is when the Edge runtime still wins for a content site, when a Node function is better, and when static beats both — with June 2026 limits and latency numbers.
ISR or plain SSG for your content site on Vercel? The real trade-off in build time, freshness, function cost, and rollback, with current 2026 Vercel limits and config you can copy.
The exact Vercel settings to ship a content site from a Turborepo monorepo: per-app Root Directory, turbo build, turbo-ignore with --fallback, and shared packages without a publish step. Verified June 2026.
Vercel is famous for Next.js, but it also runs Astro content sites well. Use this June 2026 pricing math, vercel.json setup, and image config to decide.
A Vercel "Build failed" is almost always one of seven causes: Node version, missing env var, type error, dependency drift, OOM, wrong output directory, or timeout. Match the log line, paste the fix.
A pre-launch checklist for content sites going live on Vercel as of June 2026 — base URL, env vars, www-vs-apex DNS, SSL, analytics limits, sitemap, leaked vercel.app scan, instant rollback, and spend caps.
Point an apex + www domain at Vercel with the exact per-project DNS records, dig/curl verification, the CAA fix, and a Cloudflare-in-front setup that does not break SSL. Current as of June 2026.
Ship Astro on Vercel with the exact Astro 5 astro.config.mjs, Node 22 pin, vercel.json cache headers, CLI commands, and DNS + SSL verification — no detours.
Vercel Hobby is free but strictly non-commercial; Pro is $20/seat/mo with $20 usage credit. Verified June 2026 limits table, the exact commercial-use rule, and a spend-cap setup.
Vercel is a framework-native platform built around Next.js, Astro, and SvelteKit. Get the mental model, real June 2026 pricing and limits, a sample vercel.json, and a 5-minute deploy.
