What is Netlify?

Netlify is a platform for building, deploying and hosting websites and web apps. Its homepage says an app can go live from AI tools or Git to global deployment in seconds, and lists three paths to the same project: a prompt, a push from Git, or a drag and drop of a project folder. Every push is auto-deployed and every pull request gets a preview URL. Netlify was founded in 2014 and is headquartered in San Francisco, California.

Production infrastructure includes a global CDN, edge logic, scheduled jobs and background work, plus Functions, Blob storage for files and images. Custom domains with SSL are included. Pricing uses credits that cover production deploys, compute, bandwidth and web requests: a production deploy costs 15 credits and bandwidth costs 20 credits per GB. The Free plan is $0 forever with a 300 credit limit per month and unlimited deploy previews. Personal starts at $9 per month with 1,000 credits, and Pro is $20 per month with unlimited members and a choice of credit tiers from 3,000 to 20,000. An Enterprise plan is also listed.
