What happened

Vercel has updated its deployment process to include build cache size tracking. Users can now see how much cache is saved during each deployment.

The deployment summaries also display how close the build cache is to the machine-specific limit. This information helps users manage resources more effectively.

Why it matters

Understanding build cache size is important for optimizing deployment performance and managing costs. The feature helps users avoid unexpected expenses and improve build efficiency.

Key details

The build cache size data is available through the 'vercel inspect' CLI command starting with version 65.1.0. It is also accessible via the get-deployment REST API endpoint.

If the build cache exceeds the machine-specific limit, it is discarded, and the next build starts without a cache. This ensures that builds remain within resource constraints.
