Recommended for a Git-backed website with reviewable deployments
This is a scoped recommendation for the use case shown, not a universal optimum or an installed integration.
Core architecture
| Layer | Component | Role | | --- | --- | --- | | Input | Git repository | Source • lockfile • framework files | | Input | Build settings | Root folder • build command | | Input | Environment config | Preview vs production • private secrets | | Core | Vercel | Build • host • create deployment URLs | | Quality gate | Deployment verification | Ready state • commit identity • behavior | | Output | Preview deployment | Review branch changes before release | | Output | Production site | Serve the approved application |
Connection labels
1. Connect the intended Git repository and config 2. Inspect build logs and the deployed URL 3. Promote or release the verified version
Blue lines indicate manual/local workflow steps. Purple dashed lines indicate a separately configured connection, which may include human gates; they are not claims that the entire path is unattended. Orange indicates review/refinement. Core diagram mode: configured.
Supporting tools
- GitHub: Version source and review pull requests.
- Framework tools: Build and test the app locally.
- Supabase: Optional persistent application data.
What to check
- Environment scope: Keep test and production values distinct.
- Runtime health: Exercise real controls and server paths.
- Rollback point: Keep a known-good deployment target.
Optional extension
- Git commit: Start a deployment
- Vercel build: Install and compile
- Preview checks: Inspect the result
- Release review: Approve the version
- Production URL: Verify the release
Configured Git deployment path. Verify branch mapping, build configuration, secrets, and release policy. Updating an environment variable may require a fresh deployment.
Lean starter
Git repository + Vercel + the app's build checks. A static page does not need a database or email service.
Example
Branch update → preview build → inspect at mobile and desktop → approve → verify the production commit.
