Tested Failover for JavaScript Deploys When Vercel Goes Down
A user-report aggregation on 5 November 2026 described Vercel disruptions across the dashboard, login, deploy pipeline, hosting and API. Whatever the root cause turns out to be, the part you control is whether your build can ship somewhere else. This short walks through the position the post takes: the second deployment target isn't the deliverable, the portable build artifact is. One artifact pushed to a bucket neither platform owns, both targets pulling the same bytes, and a switch you rehearse on a schedule instead of during an incident. Full write-up, including the dependency map, the failover contract and the rehearsal checklist: https://hackyjs.com/posts/designing-a-tested-failover-path-for-javascript-deploys-when-vercel-goes-down
