Vercel Deployment Failed

Quick Answer

Build errors in your code — TypeScript issues, missing dependencies, or configuration problems. Start with "Read the error" before making broader code changes.

You're in the right place if...

  • !Red X on deployment
  • !Build error in logs
  • !Deployment stuck

Common fixes

Match the error to the fix:

Error: Cannot find module 'X'
Fix: npm install X — commit package.json

Error: Type error in X.tsx
Fix: Fix the TypeScript error in your code

Error: Build timeout
Fix: Check for infinite loops in build scripts

Prevent this next time

Run npm run build locally before pushing to Vercel. If it builds locally, it'll build on Vercel.
