Build & Preview Settings
Stop paying for builds you don't need.
Every push triggers a deployment. For active teams, this adds up fast.
Auto-Cancel Superseded Builds
Developer pushes commit A. Build starts. Developer pushes commit B.
Without cancellation: Both builds complete. You pay for both.
With cancellation: Build A killed. You only pay for B.
{
"github": {
"autoJobCancellation": true
}
}Branch Filtering
Not every branch needs a preview:
{
"git": {
"deploymentEnabled": {
"main": true,
"develop": true,
"release/*": true,
"feature/*": false,
"dependabot/*": false,
"renovate/*": false
}
}
}Dependency bots generate dozens of PRs weekly. Skip them.
Ignore File Changes
Skip rebuilds when only docs change:
{
"ignoreCommand": "git diff --quiet HEAD^ HEAD -- . ':!docs' ':!*.md' ':!.github'"
}Preview Cost Breakdown
| Team Activity | Monthly Previews | Est. Cost |
|---|---|---|
| 5 PRs/week | ~20 builds | Minimal |
| 20 PRs/week | ~80 builds | $20-50 |
| 50 PRs/week | ~200 builds | $50-150 |
Preview-Specific Config
Reduce resource usage in previews:
export const IS_PREVIEW = process.env.VERCEL_ENV === 'preview';
export const IS_PRODUCTION = process.env.VERCEL_ENV === 'production';
export const CONFIG = {
analytics: IS_PRODUCTION,
imageQuality: IS_PREVIEW ? 60 : 85,
revalidate: IS_PREVIEW ? 60 : 3600,
};Next: Memory Config for function optimization.
