Hi I have a function that posts to a database if a file hash has changed. It then sends back a response with a date either now if it was changed, or whatever was in the db if it hasn't changed. And it posts the new hash and date to the db.
But I would like it to not post if the website isn't being built on Vercel. Effectively only modifying the db if I have chosen to deploy the website.

# 
if (hash changed && deploying on vercel)
  post
}
#

if im making some sort of architectural error tell me id rather fix it than make something bad work

I added an env variable like this

"vercel-build": "VERCEL_DEPLOY=true prisma generate && next build",

then checked if it was equal to true in the code

if (process.env.VERCEL_DEPLOY === "true") {
  post();
}
