Sub-second artifact deployments are now supported in Vercel CLI
By Steven Van ·
Vercel CLI 59.16.0 and later skips the build step for directories with up to 10 HTML or Markdown files and 5 MB total.
Running vercel deploy on a small static directory can now return a live URL in under a second, skipping Vercel's usual build step for directories it detects as eligible. The instant path is meant for sharing a prototype, publishing an HTML report, or previewing a page a coding agent just generated.
To qualify, a directory needs 10 or fewer HTML or Markdown files, a total size of 5 MB or less, and files limited to .html, .htm, and .md extensions. The feature requires Vercel CLI 59.16.0 or later; running vercel deploy --help lists the available options.
