Netlify

Frontend cloud platform that automates deployment pipelines from Git. Push code and your site is live — with CI/CD, serverless functions, forms, and global edge delivery built in.

What it does

Netlify connects to your Git repository and handles the entire deployment pipeline automatically. Every push to main triggers a build and deploy. Every pull request gets a live preview URL. The platform handles SSL certificates, global CDN delivery, serverless functions, form submissions, and environment variable management without separate configuration. For projects built with Next.js, Astro, SvelteKit, or any static site generator, Netlify removes most of the infrastructure overhead and lets you focus on building rather than deploying.

Use cases

→ Deploying static sites and JAMstack projects with zero server configuration
→ Running serverless functions alongside a frontend without managing backend infrastructure
→ Using deploy previews to review changes on a live URL before merging
→ Handling form submissions from static sites without a dedicated backend
→ Rolling back to a previous deploy instantly when something breaks

Strengths

✓ Zero-config deployments for most major frameworks out of the box
✓ Instant rollback to any previous build — critical for fast iteration
✓ Generous free tier covers most solo and small-team projects
✓ Edge functions for low-latency server-side logic without spinning up VMs
✓ Branch-based deploy previews for every pull request automatically
