Turbo build machines can now be enabled per deployment
Summary
Vercel now lets you enable Turbo build machines on a per‑deployment basis via a commit flag, CLI option, or REST API field, giving temporary extra resources without changing project defaults.
- Add `#VERCEL_BUILD_MACHINE=TURBO` to a Git commit to trigger Turbo for that deployment.
- Use `vc deploy --turbo` with Vercel CLI ≥ 59.20.0 for the same effect.
- When calling the Deployments API, set `buildMachine: "turbo"` in the request body.
Allows teams to boost build capacity for a single deployment (e.g., a heavy monorepo change) without permanently upgrading the project’s build machine tier.
