Deploy
Deploy (deployment) is the process of moving a website or application from a development environment to the production server, where it is accessible to users. Modern deployment is automated and takes only seconds.

Traditional vs. modern deployment
In the past, deployment was done manually — copying files via FTP, restarting the server, saying a prayer. Today deployment is automated: a push to Git triggers a CI/CD pipeline that automatically tests, builds and deploys the application. On Vercel a simple git push is enough and a new version is online within a minute. No stress, no mistakes.

CI/CD pipeline
CI (Continuous Integration) automatically tests every commit. CD (Continuous Deployment) automatically deploys after successful tests. In practice: push to GitHub → tests run → if they pass, a new version is automatically deployed. On Vercel CI/CD is integrated — every push to the main branch deploys to production, every PR creates a preview deployment.

Preview deployments
Modern platforms such as Vercel create a preview deployment for every pull request. This means you can preview every change at a unique URL before it is merged into production. Clients can see the changes and give feedback before the deployment. This eliminates surprises and speeds up iteration.

Rollback and safety
What if a deployment causes a problem? Modern platforms let you instantly roll back to a previous version with a single click. On Vercel you have the history of every deployment and can return to any previous version. Combined with Git history this means you never lose your work.

Practical example
A developer finishes a new feature and pushes to GitHub. In 45 seconds the new version is online on Vercel. The client receives an e-mail with a preview URL, takes a look and approves it. Merge into main and within a minute it is running in production. No FTP, no manual steps.
