Top Highlights
- Trusted Sources for Deployment Protection now allows protected deployments to accept short-lived OIDC tokens from authorized Vercel projects and external services, eliminating the need to share long-lived secrets and providing a more secure automation approach.
- Vercel Firewall introduces natural language rule creation, enabling developers to describe desired security behaviors in plain English and have the dashboard automatically generate the corresponding WAF custom rules.
- Progressive rollouts are now automated with Vercel Flags, allowing teams to gradually release features to an increasing percentage of users on a defined schedule for controlled feature deployment.
