What happens when Vercel goes down?

Deployment failures or build errors

Git push deployments may fail, hang during build, or show build timeout errors when Vercel's build system is experiencing issues.

Edge function errors or timeouts

Serverless and edge functions may return 500/504 errors, time out, or fail to execute during platform instability.

Slow or unavailable sites

Deployed sites may become unresponsive, show increased latency, or return 502/503 errors during CDN outages.

Domain and DNS resolution issues

Custom domains may fail to resolve, show SSL certificate errors, or become temporarily unreachable during outages.

How do I troubleshoot Vercel issues?

  1. 1

    Check deployment logs

    View build and runtime logs in Vercel dashboard to identify if errors are deployment-specific or platform-wide.

  2. 2

    Test with a new deployment

    Push a simple change to trigger a new deployment and see if the issue is specific to your project or affecting all builds.

  3. 3

    Verify edge function status

    Test edge functions directly with curl or browser to isolate runtime issues from CDN or routing problems.

  4. 4

    Check domain configuration

    Verify DNS records and SSL certificates in Vercel dashboard to rule out configuration issues.

  5. 5

    Monitor via Vercel API

    Use Vercel API to programmatically check deployment status and automate incident detection.
