Sub-second artifact deployments are now supported in Vercel CLI

Summary

Vercel CLI 59.16.0 adds sub‑second static artifact deployments by detecting eligible sites and bypassing the build step. Deploy up to 10 HTML/Markdown files (≤5 MB) with a single command and receive a live URL in under a second.

  • Vercel CLI 59.16.0+ can deploy static artifacts in under a second by skipping the build step.
  • Supported deployments are limited to directories with ≤10 HTML or Markdown files and total size ≤5 MB.
  • Accepted file extensions are .html, .htm, and .md.
  • `vercel deploy ./my-static-site --prod` returns a live URL in ~800 ms.

Frontend engineers and CI pipelines that need instant preview URLs should care because it cuts deployment latency to under a second.
