How to use Vercel for frontend application deployment?

Deploying frontend applications in an agile and easy way is essential for any developer. Vercel, formerly known as Now.sh and then State, is a powerful tool that facilitates this process. In this guide, we'll walk you through step-by-step how to leverage Vercel to deploy your website, from creating an account to customizing domains.

How to create a Vercel account?

To start using Vercel, you will need to create a user account. You can do this in several ways, but one of the most straightforward options is to connect to your Github account, which allows for seamless integration with your repositories. Follow these steps:

1. Log in to vercel.com.
2. If you choose to register via Github, authorize Vercel to access your account.
3. Follow the instructions to complete your profile with your username.
4. Set up your account by customizing aspects such as your avatar and username, for example, using the same username from other social networks for consistency.

How to import and deploy a repository in Vercel?

Once your account is set up, the next step is to import a repository of your project from Github and proceed to deploy it. This process is intuitive and is done directly from the Vercel platform:

1. In your Vercel console, select the option to import a repository.
2. Copy the URL of the desired repository from Github.
3. Paste the URL into Vercel and continue with the authorization and verification process.
4. Configure the project: choose the project name, verify the repository structure and decide if you want to customize build variables (for basic JavaScript applications, this is usually optional).
5. Select deploy. In a matter of seconds, Vercel will start deploying your project, generating a URL in the style project.vercel.app.

How to customize domains in Vercel?

Vercel not only simplifies application deployment, but also offers flexible options for managing domains, allowing you to use subdomains or custom domains:

• From the Vercel dashboard, go to the domains section.
• You can add a new domain, checking its availability beforehand.
• Set up a short and friendly subdomain, such as platsinautas.now.sh, if you prefer easy-to-remember URLs.
• You can associate multiple subdomains to your project to adjust them to different audiences or customers.

These features make Vercel an excellent choice for developers looking for speed and simplicity in website deployment. With its ability to integrate multiple domains and its seamless integration with Github, Vercel is a must-have tool for both personal and professional projects.
