New Project-Level Routing Rules

Vercel has introduced project-level routing rules that allow you to manage routing logic without triggering a new deployment. You can now set response headers, configure rewrites to external APIs, and manage other routing behavior directly within your project—changes take effect instantly.

Three-Tier Routing System

Project-level routes complete Vercel's routing stack, which now includes:

• Routes in deployment configuration (via vercel.json, vercel.ts, or next.config.js)
• Bulk redirects
• Project-level routes (new)

Project-level routes execute after bulk redirects but before your deployment configuration routes, giving you clear precedence and control over how requests are handled.

Availability and Access

Project-level routing is available on all Vercel plans starting today. You can access this feature through multiple interfaces:

• Dashboard: Use the CDN tab in your project settings
• API: Programmatically create and update routes
• CLI: Manage routes via command line
• Vercel SDK: Integrate routing management into your applications

Getting Started

Visit the routing documentation or navigate to the CDN tab in your project dashboard to begin using project-level routes. This feature is particularly useful for managing headers, redirects, and external API rewrites without the overhead of a full redeployment.
