Vercel's CDN now supports updating routing rules without a new deployment
By Steven Van ·
Vercel lets projects add or change CDN routing rules, like headers or external rewrites, from the dashboard or API without a new deployment.
Vercel's CDN can now apply routing changes, such as new response headers or rewrites to an external API, without a new deployment. Project-level routes are configured from the dashboard, API, CLI, or Vercel SDK, and take effect as soon as they're published.
The new rules run after bulk redirects and before the routes defined in a deployment's own configuration (vercel.json, vercel.ts, or next.config.js), giving Vercel's CDN three routing mechanisms in total. Project-level routes are available on all plans starting today.
