CI/CD for Vercel

This templates gives you a continuous deployment (CD) pipeline that builds, tests, and deploys a Next.js application to Vercel.

At a glance:

• For Vercel web applications
• Uses npm
• Requires Docker
• Uses Vercel CLI
• Runs Jest unit tests

How it works

This template:

1. Installs the Vercel CLI using npm.
2. Pulls production Vercel environment information.
3. Builds an application for production, outputting a .vercel/output folder, which is available as an artifact.
4. Runs Jest unit tests.
5. Deploys the prebuilt application to Vercel production environment.

Next steps

After you select Use template, you’ll:

1. Connect the Git repository with your Vercel application.
2. Configure Buildkite with the following secrets: VERCEL_TOKEN, VERCEL_ORG_ID, VERCEL_PROJECT_ID.
3. Configure the compute—run locally, on-premises, or in the cloud.
4. Run the pipeline.

You can then play around with the pipeline settings. For example, run the pipeline locally while you iterate on the definition or set a schedule to trigger a nightly build.
