Vercel

Deploy Your AI-Built App to Vercel

Vercel is the default deployment target for most AI-generated Next.js apps. Cursor, Lovable, v0, and Bolt all scaffold projects that deploy to Vercel - but serverless constraints and edge runtime limits catch most first-time deployers off guard.

Common Vercel deployment issues

Real problems from AI-generated apps deployed to Vercel.

Config

Serverless function size exceeds 50MB limit

AI tools bundle heavy dependencies into API routes without tree-shaking, pushing serverless functions past Vercel's 50MB compressed size limit and failing the build.

Config

Edge runtime incompatible with Node.js APIs

Generated code uses fs, crypto, or other Node.js built-ins inside Edge Runtime routes, causing deployment failures since Edge only supports a subset of Web APIs.

Performance

ISR revalidation not triggering correctly

Incremental Static Regeneration configured with stale revalidate values or missing on-demand revalidation hooks, serving outdated content indefinitely.

Config

Environment variables missing in production

Secrets added to .env.local but not configured in the Vercel dashboard, causing runtime crashes only in production while working perfectly in local dev.

Performance

Middleware running on every request

AI-generated middleware.ts lacks a matcher config, executing authentication or redirect logic on static assets and API routes, degrading response times.

Frequently asked questions

Why does my AI-generated app fail to deploy on Vercel?

The most common cause is serverless function size limits. AI tools like Cursor and Bolt bundle large dependencies (sharp, puppeteer, prisma engines) into API routes without optimizing imports. You need to externalize heavy packages, use dynamic imports, and ensure your bundled function stays under 50MB compressed.

How do I fix Edge Runtime errors on Vercel?

Edge Runtime only supports Web APIs - not Node.js built-ins like fs, path, or crypto. If your AI-generated code uses these, move those routes to the Node.js runtime by adding `export const runtime = 'nodejs'` to the route file, or refactor to use Web Crypto API and fetch-based alternatives.

Can SpringCode help deploy my vibe-coded app to Vercel?

Yes. We audit your AI-generated codebase for Vercel-specific issues - serverless function limits, ISR misconfigurations, middleware problems, and environment variable exposure. We then fix them and handle the deployment so your app runs reliably in production.
