Netlify is an American cloud platform for building, deploying, and hosting websites and web applications. It was founded in 2014 by Mathias Biilmann and Christian Bach and is based in San Francisco.[1] The company is closely associated with the Jamstack approach to web development, a term Biilmann coined.[2]
Platform
Netlify connects to a project's source-code repository, such as one on GitHub, and automatically builds and publishes the site whenever changes are pushed. Each change can generate a preview deployment at its own address, allowing changes to be reviewed before they go live. Sites can also be deployed by uploading prebuilt files directly.[3]
Built sites are served from a global content delivery network. Netlify also offers services that add dynamic features to otherwise static sites, such as serverless functions, form handling, and identity management.[3] The platform supports many static site generators and front-end frameworks, including Jekyll.[3]
Growth
Netlify raised a $53 million Series C funding round in 2020, after reporting that more than 800,000 developers had used the platform.[4]
