Vercel Status: Is Vercel Down Right Now?
Use this Vercel status guide to confirm outages fast, troubleshoot deployment or edge function issues, and get real-time monitoring for the moment Vercel goes down.
Quick Vercel Status Checklist
- 1. Check official status updates.
- 2. Confirm with community reports.
- 3. Verify with independent monitoring.
- 4. Test with Vercel CLI commands.
Check the official Vercel status page
Vercel posts incident updates, degraded service notices, and maintenance windows on its official status dashboard.
vercel-status.comLook for community reports
Crowd-sourced signals can confirm widespread deployment failures, edge function issues, or CDN errors.
Downdetector reportsVerify with independent monitoring
Use API Status Check for third-party monitoring that verifies real endpoints and tracks historical incidents.
Vercel on API Status CheckCommon Vercel Issues During Outages
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.
Troubleshooting Steps Before You Assume Vercel Is Down
- 1
Check deployment logs
View build and runtime logs in Vercel dashboard to identify if errors are deployment-specific or platform-wide.
- 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
Verify edge function status
Test edge functions directly with curl or browser to isolate runtime issues from CDN or routing problems.
- 4
Check domain configuration
Verify DNS records and SSL certificates in Vercel dashboard to rule out configuration issues.
- 5
Monitor via Vercel API
Use Vercel API to programmatically check deployment status and automate incident detection.
Real-Time Vercel Monitoring
API Status Check tracks Vercel status with independent monitoring, uptime stats, and incident history so you can confirm outages quickly.
Independent Vercel status checks
API Status Check performs independent monitoring so you can verify Vercel status even if official updates are delayed.
Incident history and uptime data
Review recent incidents, response times, and reliability trends to understand Vercel stability.
Real-time alerts and integrations
Get notified with email alerts, RSS feeds, and webhooks when Vercel experiences a new incident.
Alternative Solutions During Vercel Outages
Use preview deployments
During production outages, preview deployments may still be accessible as a temporary fallback.
Enable ISR or static exports
Incremental Static Regeneration or static exports can provide better resilience during serverless outages.
Implement health checks
Set up external health checks and status pages to monitor your Vercel deployments independently.
Monitor recovery via API Status Check
Set up alerts to get notified the moment Vercel recovers from an outage.
Get notified when Vercel is back up
No account needed. We will email you once and thats it.
Vercel Status FAQ
