Vercel deployments and builds cover the full lifecycle from source changes to production releases with automated previews and rollback controls.
Deployments Use preview deployments for every branch or pull request. Promote deployments to production when ready. Configure deployment retention where needed. Builds Define build settings per project. Use the Build Output API for custom build output. Review build logs for failures. Release Controls Use release phases for controlled rollouts. Use instant rollback when a deployment causes regressions. Add deployment checks for quality gates. Automation Trigger deployments with deploy hooks. Add a deploy button for fast deploys.
