| 174 | +``` |
| 175 | + |
| 176 | +## Performance Optimization |
| 177 | + |
| 178 | +### Image Optimization |
| 179 | +```typescript |
| 180 | +// next.config.js |
| 181 | +/** @type {import('next').NextConfig} */ |

| 192 | + }, |
| 193 | +}; |
| 194 | +``` |
| 195 | + |
| 196 | +### ISR Configuration |
| 197 | +```typescript |
| 198 | +// Incremental Static Regeneration |
| 199 | +export const revalidate = 3600; // Revalidate every hour |
| 200 | + |

|
| 262 | +## Monitoring and Analytics |
| 263 | +
|
| 264 | +### Web Analytics Setup |
| 265 | +```typescript |
| 266 | +// app/layout.tsx |
| 267 | +import { Analytics } from '@vercel/analytics/react'; |
| 268 | +import { SpeedInsights } from '@vercel/speed-insights/next'; |
| 269 | + |
| 270 | +export default function RootLayout({ |
| 271 | + children, |
| 272 | +}: { |
| 273 | + children: React.ReactNode; |
| 274 | +}) { |
| 275 | + return ( |
| 276 | + <html lang="en"> |
| 277 | + <body> |
| 278 | + {children} |
| 279 | + <Analytics /> |
| 280 | + <SpeedInsights /> |
| 281 | + </body> |
| 282 | + </html> |
| 283 | + ); |
| 284 | +} |
| 285 | +``` |
| 286 | + |
| 287 | +### Custom Performance Monitoring |
| 288 | +```typescript |
| 289 | +// utils/performance.ts |
| 290 | +export function trackWebVitals({ id, name, value, delta, rating }: any) { |
| 291 | + // Send to analytics service |
| 292 | + fetch('/api/vitals', { |
| 293 | + method: 'POST', |
| 294 | + headers: { 'Content-Type': 'application/json' }, |
| 295 | + body: JSON.stringify({ |
| 296 | + id, |
| 297 | + name, |
| 298 | + value, |
| 299 | + delta, |
| 300 | + rating, |
| 301 | + url: window.location.href, |
| 302 | + userAgent: navigator.userAgent |
| 303 | + }) |
| 304 | + }); |
| 305 | +} |
| 306 | + |
| 307 | +// Track Core Web Vitals |
| 308 | +export function reportWebVitals(metric: any) { |
| 309 | + console.log(metric); |
| 310 | + trackWebVitals(metric); |
| 311 | +} |
| 312 | +``` |
| 313 | + |
| 314 | +## Deployment Strategies |
| 315 | + |
| 316 | +### Production Deployment Checklist |
| 317 | +1. **Environment Variables**: Verify all production secrets are set |
| 318 | +2. **Domain Configuration**: Custom domain with SSL certificate |
| 319 | +3. **Performance**: Core Web Vitals scores > 90 |
| 320 | +4. **Security**: Security headers configured |
| 321 | +5. **Monitoring**: Analytics and error tracking enabled |
| 322 | +6. **Backup**: Database backups and rollback plan |
| 323 | +7. **Load Testing**: Performance under expected traffic |
| 324 | + |
| 325 | +### Rollback Strategy |
| 326 | +```bash |
| 327 | +# Quick rollback using Vercel CLI |
| 328 | +vercel --prod --force # Force deployment |
| 329 | +vercel rollback [deployment-url] # Rollback to specific deployment |
| 330 | + |
| 331 | +# Alias management for zero-downtime deployments |
| 332 | +vercel alias set [deployment-url] production-domain.com |
| 333 | +``` |
| 334 | + |
| 335 | +## Troubleshooting Guide |
| 336 | + |
| 337 | +### Common Issues and Solutions |
| 338 | + |
| 339 | +**Cold Start Optimization**: |
| 340 | +- Use edge runtime when possible |
| 341 | +- Minimize bundle size and dependencies |
| 342 | +- Implement connection pooling for databases |
| 343 | +- Cache expensive computations |
| 344 | + |
| 345 | +**Function Timeout**: |
| 346 | +- Increase maxDuration in vercel.json |
| 347 | +- Break long operations into smaller chunks |
| 348 | +- Use background jobs for heavy processing |
| 349 | +- Implement proper error handling |
| 350 | + |
| 351 | +**Build Failures**: |
| 352 | +- Check build logs in Vercel dashboard |
| 353 | +- Verify environment variables |
| 354 | +- Test build locally with `vercel build` |
| 355 | +- Check dependency versions and lock files |
| 356 | + |
| 357 | +Always provide specific deployment configurations, performance optimizations, and monitoring solutions tailored to the project's scale and requirements. |
