Vercel Integration – Governance & Implementation Inquiry

This document captures the integration questions and governance requirements for deploying this repository using Vercel in a secure, reproducible, and compliant manner aligned with AIOpsLab quality standards.

---

Purpose

Ensure the Vercel integration:

• Is secure
• Is auditable
• Is reproducible
• Avoids vendor lock-in
• Meets governance and safety requirements

---

Integration Questions

1. Deployment Model

• Will we use:
  • Preview + Production deployments (PR previews + main branch production), or
  • Single Production deployment only?

2. Secrets & Environment Management

• How will secrets be managed?

  • Vercel Secrets
  • GitHub Actions → Vercel CLI
  • Manual dashboard configuration

• Who owns secret rotation and access control?

3. CI/CD Ownership

• Should deployments be:
  • Triggered directly by Vercel on push, or
  • Controlled via GitHub Actions for traceability and auditability?

4. Governance & Safety Controls

• Do we require:
  • Deployment approvals?
  • Environment protection rules?
  • Rollback strategy documentation?

5. Export & Portability

• Will we maintain a self-hostable fallback path (Docker / static export) to avoid vendor lock-in?

---

Next Steps

Once these are defined, we will:

• Draft the Vercel integration checklist
• Implement the GitHub Actions deployment workflow
• Add governance guardrails and documentation
• Update the AIOpsLab QA project with deployment controls
