Vercel has introduced new features to enhance the Developer Experience Platform for enterprise teams encompassing Conformance, Code Owners, and a reimagined dashboard experience, aimed at improving code health, performance, and security.
Conformance: Next-Level Static Analysis
The Conformance system on Vercel's platform brings an advanced level of static analysis by spanning multiple files, as opposed to checking each one individually. This approach grants a comprehensive overview of the entire codebase. Aside from identifying issues, it adds specific context to front-end issues, classifies and tags problems, and allocates a severity level to each matter. It even allows for granular ownership over both rules and rule violation exceptions.
Out-of-the-Box Analysis
Conformance provides out-of-the-box static analysis, to help teams scale the code quality effectively. It operates within CI/CD systems or locally to enhance various aspects like getServerSideProps for Next.js, overall performance, code health, and security.
Quantifiable Improvements
By focusing on addressing the most pressing issues, companies like Upstart have reported over 200ms improvement in performance across all pages, underscoring the practical benefits of Conformance.
Cutting Down on Debugging Time
Excessive debugging can drain a significant portion of developer time, amounting to a year's worth of effort in some cases. Vercel's Conformance platform places guardrails that redirect developers' focus from error detection to creation. This proactive resolution of potential issues frees developers from unnecessary dependencies, thereby boosting their productivity and innovation. For instance, reports suggest saving more than 45 days of Continuous Integration (CI) team work every week, with a 71% task cache hit rate.
Code Owners: Scaling With Your Company
As enterprise teams grow, maintaining an efficient code ownership system becomes crucial. The Code Owners feature on Vercel is framework-defined and works in tandem with the Git client to help scaling companies manage their codebase effectively.
Modifier Accessibility
Code Owners not only simplifies management but also elevates application security. For example, if there is unsafe usage of cookies in an application, the security rules can be centralized in an allowlist file. Security teams are designated as the code owners of these files, facilitating controlled access and requiring explicit approval for any changes.
Dashboard: Monorepo Management
Vercel has reimagined the dashboard experience, particularly for monorepo setups. The redesigned dashboard on vercel.com makes it much easier to manage projects and can be a crucial part of the enterprise toolkit to move fast without breaking things.
Upgrading Frontend Workflows
With Conformance and Code Owners now Generally Available for Enterprise teams on Vercel, there's a focused effort on improving frontend workflows. These tools empower teams to deliver superior web experiences. Enterprises interested in these improvements are encouraged to contact Vercel to learn more about the Developer Experience Platform and its new features.
To get started with these features and enhance your team's capabilities, reaching out to Vercel is the next step for enterprises eager to scale their code health, performance, and security, and ultimately, to innovate more efficiently.
