Deployment step now 10% faster
The deployment step is now approximately 10% faster by combining separate routing metadata files into a single manifest. This optimization applies automatically to all builds without requiring any changes.
The deployment step is now about 10% faster, saving one second on average. Large applications can save up to 12 seconds.
Previously, Vercel uploaded a separate routing metadata file for each function path. That metadata is now combined into a single manifest and uploaded once.
This improvement applies automatically to all builds. No changes are required. Learn more about in the documentation.builds
