Netlify

Netlify is a cloud platform for building, deploying, and hosting modern web applications, particularly those built with static site generators and JavaScript frameworks like React, Vue, and Next.js. It targets front-end developers, web development teams, and businesses seeking to deploy sites without managing traditional server infrastructure. The platform automates workflows by connecting to Git repositories, triggering builds and deployments automatically whenever code changes are pushed. Core capabilities include a global content delivery network for fast asset distribution, serverless functions for backend logic, continuous deployment pipelines, and features like deploy previews for reviewing changes before they go live. Netlify popularized the Jamstack architecture approach, decoupling the front end from backend services to improve site performance, security, and scalability.
