Built with Cursor? Deploy it to Vercel.
Step-by-step deployment help for Cursor-built apps on Vercel. We fix deployment issues, configure Vercel correctly, and get your app live in production. From $19.
Cursor issues we fix before deploying
Problems specific to Cursor's code generation that affect Vercel deployments.
Exposed API keys in client code
Cursor often places sensitive keys and secrets directly in client-side components or .env files without the NEXT_PUBLIC prefix distinction, making them accessible in the browser.
Missing input validation on API routes
Server actions and API routes generated by Cursor frequently accept user input without sanitization or schema validation, opening the door to injection attacks.
Unhandled async errors
Cursor wraps code in try/catch inconsistently. Failed API calls, database queries, and file operations often crash the app silently or show raw error messages to users.
Race conditions in state management
Multiple rapid state updates or concurrent API calls cause stale data, UI flickers, and inconsistent behavior — especially in forms and real-time features.
Vercel deployment issues we check for
Common Vercel problems that break AI-generated apps in production.
Serverless function size exceeds 50MB limit
AI tools bundle heavy dependencies into API routes without tree-shaking, pushing serverless functions past Vercel's 50MB compressed size limit and failing the build.
Edge runtime incompatible with Node.js APIs
Generated code uses fs, crypto, or other Node.js built-ins inside Edge Runtime routes, causing deployment failures since Edge only supports a subset of Web APIs.
ISR revalidation not triggering correctly
Incremental Static Regeneration configured with stale revalidate values or missing on-demand revalidation hooks, serving outdated content indefinitely.
Environment variables missing in production
Secrets added to .env.local but not configured in the Vercel dashboard, causing runtime crashes only in production while working perfectly in local dev.

Frequently asked questions
Can you deploy a Cursor-built app to Vercel?
Yes. We regularly deploy Cursor-generated projects to Vercel. We handle the platform-specific configuration, fix deployment errors, and ensure your app runs reliably in production on Vercel.
What Vercel issues do Cursor projects typically have?
Cursor projects commonly have exposed api keys in client code and missing input validation on api routes. When deploying to Vercel, these combine with platform-specific issues like serverless function size exceeds 50mb limit and edge runtime incompatible with node.js apis.
How do I get my Cursor project live on Vercel?
Start with our code audit ($19) to get a prioritized list of deployment blockers. For Cursor-built projects targeting Vercel, the typical path is: fix Cursor-specific code issues, configure Vercel settings correctly, then deploy. We provide a fixed quote after the audit.
Can you handle the full deployment of my Cursor app to Vercel?
Yes. We handle end-to-end deployment: auditing your Cursor codebase, fixing deployment blockers, configuring Vercel correctly, setting up environment variables, and getting your app live in production. Start with our code audit ($19).
