“Increased build and deployment failures”
On 12 October, Vercel had a major outage affecting builds and Git integrations from 13:35 to 20:11 UTC (6 h 36 min), with some builds failing or deployments not starting. The status page reported that failure rates had decreased by 14:57, though some builds stayed queued.
