Deployment Cancellation

2 posts · Nov 2018 – Nov 2022

What this trail covers

Vercel's platform supports advanced deployment strategies, including the ability to cancel ongoing deployments. This feature allows users to prevent unnecessary builds and queued deployments by providing a 'Cancel' button on the dashboard. For teams requiring higher throughput, the 'Concurrent Builds' setting can be increased to manage multiple deployments simultaneously. Auto Job Cancellation ensures that for a given branch, only the latest commit's job is built, canceling previous jobs in the queue to expedite the deployment of the most recent changes.
