Vercel Highlights

• We open sourced deepsec, a security harness powered by coding agents that runs on your own infrastructure and surfaces hard-to-find issues in large codebases.
• Observability Plus metrics can now be accessed through Vercel CLI using the new vercel metrics command.
• Pro teams now have the option to automatically add Git committers to their Vercel team, so you can skip the manual approval step for people who already have access to your private repos.

Community Projects

• Been building Pulseahead, a customer feedback platform for SaaS, would love your feedback
• Viscous Liquid Shader (Oddity.004)
• The most comprehensive list of AI models and their metadata
• Tickstem — cron jobs, uptime monitoring and heartbeat checks for Vercel apps
• framecn - Beautiful video components, made simple

Don’t forget to visit the Showcase to see what else everyone is building
