Overview

Vercel is ideal for developers who want Git-based workflows, preview deployments, and easy customization. This guide walks you through a one-click deployment.
Vercel deployments are free and scale automatically. You only pay for database hosting (Neon, Supabase, Railway, etc.).

​
Prerequisites

  • A Vercel account
  • A GitHub account
  • A PostgreSQL database (Neon, Supabase, Railway, or similar)

​
Quick deploy

Click the button below to deploy Orbit to your Vercel account: Deploy with Vercel

​
Environment variables

During deployment, Vercel will ask for these required variables:

SESSION_SECRET

A strong random string (32+ characters). Generate one: openssl rand -base64 32

DATABASE_URL

PostgreSQL connection string from your database provider (Neon, Supabase, Railway, etc.).
Store these values securely. Never commit them to Git. Vercel’s environment variable UI keeps them encrypted.

Video walkthrough

​
After deployment

  1. Vercel will create a GitHub fork of Orbit in your account.
  2. Your instance is live at your-project.vercel.app.
  3. Go to your instance and complete the setup wizard (Roblox Group ID, username, password).
  4. Push code changes to trigger automatic re-deployments.
Use Vercel’s preview deployments to test changes before merging to production.
