Netlify

Netlify pioneered the Jamstack deployment model and continues to evolve with capabilities that span static sites to full-stack applications. It's the platform that proved simple deployments could be powerful.

Key Features:

• Git-based Deployments - Automatic builds on every push
• Deploy Previews - Branch deployments for every pull request
• Serverless Functions - Backend logic alongside your frontend
• Edge Functions - Compute at the CDN layer

Extended platform:

• Forms Handling - Collect submissions without backend code
• Identity - Authentication and user management built in
• Split Testing - A/B test different versions easily
• Large Media - Git LFS with image transformations

Netlify remains excellent for static sites and Jamstack applications. The forms, identity, and split testing features provide capabilities that would otherwise require additional services. For teams building content-heavy sites, the integrated workflow is compelling.
