Vercel enables concurrent builds for multiple commits on the same branch.
Executive Summary
Vercel has updated its platform to allow multiple commits on the same branch to be built simultaneously when "On-Demand Concurrent Builds" is enabled. This enhancement eliminates the previous queuing system, where a new commit had to wait for the preceding build on that branch to finish. Consequently, developer commits now begin building immediately, accelerating the continuous integration and deployment process.
Key Takeaways
* Feature Update: Enhancement to "On-Demand Concurrent Builds".
* Core Capability: Multiple commits on a single branch can now build in parallel, rather than sequentially.
* Previous Limitation: A new commit would be queued and forced to wait for any active build on the same branch to complete.
* Primary Benefit: Eliminates build queues and reduces developer wait times for build feedback and deployments.
Strategic Importance
This update improves the efficiency of Vercel's CI/CD pipeline, making the platform more attractive for high-velocity development teams by reducing bottlenecks.
