Cursor-built app failing to deploy on Vercel?

A Cursor-built Next.js app that runs with next dev but fails on Vercel usually hits a production-only check: case-sensitive import paths on Linux, TypeScript or ESLint errors that fail next build, environment variables missing for that Vercel environment, or a Node or lockfile mismatch. Reproduce with a clean local build first. VibePitstop fixes Vercel deploys as fixed-price deploy fixes.

The usual build failures

Module not found: macOS ignores case, Vercel's Linux builders do not. ./Components/Button is not ./components/button. See Module not found.
Type errors or lint errors: next build type-checks and lints; next dev lets them slide.
Env vars set for Preview but not Production (or the reverse), or added without a redeploy.
Node version or lockfile mismatch: set the Node version in Project Settings; keep one lockfile for one package manager.
Prerender errors: pages that call APIs or databases at build time. See prerender error.
Edge runtime incompatibilities: Node-only libraries in middleware or edge routes. See Prisma on the edge.

Reproduce Vercel's build locally

rm -rf .next node_modules
npm ci
npm run build

If it fails locally, fix it there. If it passes locally, compare Node version and environment variables with Vercel.

FAQ

Why does my app build locally but fail on Vercel?

Usually case-sensitive paths, a different Node version, or environment variables missing in that Vercel environment.

Should I turn off type checking to make the build pass?

Only as a last resort. Fixing the errors is usually quick, and ignoring them ships bugs.

How much does it cost to fix a Vercel deploy?

A deploy fix is $400–800 fixed, quoted after the $149 diagnosis, credited in full.
