Measure deployment velocity with Vercel and Tinybird
Blog post from Tinybird
Vercel is a web platform designed for rapid software deployment, and it utilizes webhooks to export data that can be integrated with Tinybird's Events API, enabling efficient data analysis. By using Vercel webhooks, developers can seamlessly transfer deployment data to Tinybird, where SQL transformations are applied to create API endpoints, which are then visualized through a Next.js app using shadcn charts. This setup allows for real-time insights into deployment speed and efficiency, offering metrics such as the number of deployments, their durations, and individual developer contributions. Additionally, the ability to analyze various Vercel event types enables developers to track and mitigate deployment errors, thereby enhancing overall performance. The process is streamlined and flexible, allowing for the rapid creation of new visualizations and insights, with community support available for troubleshooting and expansion.
