Archive deployments are useful for deploying large projects with thousands of files from the CLI.

We previously released the split-tgz archive deployment as a new archive option: vercel deploy --archive=split-tgz. This new capability offered up to 30% faster uploads and avoided file upload size limits.

We’ve confirmed split-tgz’s stability and made it the default behavior for tgz. This means the separate split-tgz option is now deprecated as the split-tgz functionality and benefits power the default tgz option.
