Netlify

Netlify is an essential platform for modern web architectures, providing automated git-based deployments, edge compute, serverless functions, and unified frontend caching primitives.

When to Use

• Modern Frontend & Jamstack Deployment: Automated git-triggered builds, preview URLs, and global edge CDN hosting.
• Netlify Edge Functions: Running low-latency serverless TypeScript code at the edge using Deno runtime.
• Serverless Form Handling & Identity: Zero-backend form submissions and user authentication.
• Branch Previews & Collaborative Feedback: Generating unique preview environments for every pull request with visual commenting.

Quick Start

npm i -g netlify-cli
