Next.js-oriented apps, Git workflows and Vercel deployment
What is v0?
Next.js-oriented apps, Git workflows and Vercel deployment. v0 uses Next.js + React as its primary stack, with Vercel Postgres for backend services.
Production Checklist for v0
Every v0 app needs these production essentials before going live:
- Code ownership: Export your code to a GitHub repository you control
- Environment variables: Move all secrets out of client code
- Database migrations: Set up versioned schema changes
- Authentication: Configure OAuth callbacks for your production domain
- Monitoring: Add error tracking before your first real user
- Backups: Enable automated backups and test restore
Common v0 Production Mistakes
- Leaving code only in the builder's platform with no export
- Using builder-provided URLs instead of owning your domain
- Not separating preview and production environments
- Skipping webhook verification for payments
- Forgetting to add monitoring before launch
Estimated Costs
Typical v0 production stack costs Vercel for small apps, scaling up with traffic and features.
