Node.js 18 (LTS support ends April 30, 2025) and the Vercel legacy build image will be deprecated on August 1, 2025. If you are still using the legacy build image on this date, new builds will display an error.

How do I know if I am still using the legacy build image?

• Projects using Node.js 18.x in Build and Deployment Settings use the legacy build image

• Projects using overrides in package.json use the legacy build image

What changes between the legacy build image and latest build image?

• The minimum version of Node.js is now 20.x

• The Python toolchain version is now 3.12

• The Ruby toolchain version is now 3.3.x

Will my existing deployments be affected?

Existing deployments will not be affected. However, the Node.js version will need to be updated on your next deployment.

How can I see if my projects are affected?

You can see which projects are affected by this deprecation by running the following commands:

npm i -g vercel@latest
vercel project ls --update-required

This date coincides with the previously announced deprecation of Node.js 18 on the Vercel platform. Learn more about differences between build images.

xAI's latest and most powerful Grok 3 models are now available through the Vercel Marketplace, bringing state-of-the-art AI capabilities to your Vercel projects.

To get started, you can use the AI SDK xAI provider in your project:

import { xai } from "@ai-sdk/xai";
import { streamtext } from "ai";

const result = streamText({
  model: xai("grok-3-beta"),
  prompt: "What is the meaning of life?",
});

for await (const textPart of result.textStream) {
  process.stdout.write(textPart); // The answer is 42.
}

Then, install the xAI Marketplace Integration with Vercel CLI (or from the dashboard):

vercel install xai

Once you've accepted the terms, you'll be able to use Grok models from within your project, with no additional steps necessary.

To help you get started, we've also made a ready-to-deploy Next.js xAI starter template. To learn more about xAI on Vercel, read our announcement and the documentation.

New native integrations from Sentry, Checkly, and Dash0 are now available on the Vercel Marketplace, helping make it easier to monitor, debug, and optimize your applications—all in one place.

• Sentry: Real-time error tracking and performance monitoring for faster issue resolution

• Checkly: End-to-end monitoring and synthetic checks for your frontend and APIs

• Dash0: Log management and structured observability, built with a developer-first experience. Dash0 also supports Native Log Drains, allowing you to stream logs from your Vercel projects to external logging systems for deeper insights and centralized monitoring

This launch introduces Log Drain support for native integrations—a capability that was previously only available to connectable accounts.

These integrations offer frictionless onboarding, single sign-on, and integrated billing through Vercel, making it easy to get started in just a few clicks.
