It's great that you guys are truly listening to our community. Latest videos was all about questions I saw being asked on Reddit, haha

can we use Vercel for hosting origin based app? For instance, if I've my web app running on Node and would like to use Vercel as a CDN with the Node app as origin. This allows me to use Node runtime for some pages and Edge runtime for pages which has Edge runtime set on a page.

It wasn’t clear whether the app used build time or runtime environment variables (I don’t use next), but can you define runtime environment vars and update them on a live deployment without additional build and deploy?

Nice one! Is it possible to have “stage” domains assigned to the deploy before promoting and then assign the production domains on promote?

1. Are you working locally at the main or development branches at 2:28?
2. have you created a development branch that will be merged with the main branch?
3. is your main branch the production branch?
4. Does Vercel create a preview even if only a main branch on GitHub exists?
5. Are you pushing the development or main branches to Vercel at 2:28?
6. Can I push my changes to a development branch on GitHub and then let Vercel pick it from there?


The environment handling is very confusing. Could you make a video about GitHub integrations?

Vercel needs a bulk editor option for editing environment variables like DigitalOcean!

[alexandrumorarasu]

Can we also create additional environments?

Great video! Could you make a video on setting up DNS records for use with Resend. I was having trouble setting TTL to AUTO because in Resend docs they want resend._domainkey TTL to be AUTO but there's no AUTO option on Vercel DNS. Thank you very much!

How can environment variables be protected by role? e.g., Only admins can view variable values.
