Netlify

Web development platform for the modern web

Netlify provides hosting, CI/CD, serverless functions, and edge middleware for web projects. Pioneered the JAMstack approach with great Git-based deployment.

Git-based deploys, serverless functions, and the Edge network are solid. Great for static and JAMstack sites.

Reality Check

Vercel has pulled ahead for React/Next.js projects. Netlify is good but no longer the default choice.

Big Picture

Skip

Vercel's framework-first approach and AI features are winning developer mindshare. Netlify needs a new differentiator.

Pioneered JAMstack and still the best experience for frontend deployment
