Setting up a Vercel account
Before we start deploying our Next.js project, we need to have a Vercel account. If you don't have one, you can create a free account at vercel.com/signup. Once you have created your account, you can log in to the Vercel dashboard.
Deploying a Next.js project in Vercel
To deploy a Next.js project in Vercel, the first step is to connect your project to Vercel. You can do this by logging in to your Vercel dashboard and clicking on the "New Project" button. From there, you can choose your project directory and Vercel will automatically detect that it is a Next.js project.
Once your project is connected, you can customize your deployment settings such as choosing the branch to deploy and setting environment variables. After configuring your settings, click on the "Deploy" button and Vercel will start building and deploying your project.
After the deployment is complete, you will be given a URL where you can view your deployed Next.js application. You can also configure custom domains and SSL certificates for your project in the Vercel dashboard.
