About Netlify

Netlify is a platform for building and deploying web applications and sites, supporting workflows that start from an AI prompt, a Git push, a CLI deploy, or a drag-and-drop folder upload. Projects deploy to a global CDN, with automatic HTTPS, DDoS protection, and deploy previews generated for every pull request; deploys can be rolled back with one click.

The platform includes serverless functions for backend logic and API endpoints, a managed Postgres database (Netlify Database), file storage via blob storage, built-in identity/auth handling, and an Image CDN for on-demand image optimization. It also provides an AI Gateway for connecting applications to AI models, and Agent Runners for building with AI coding agents such as Claude and Codex.

It is aimed at developers and teams building marketing sites, ecommerce storefronts, SaaS and fullstack web apps, AI-powered features, and internal tools, and supports contributions from non-engineering roles such as marketers and designers through AI-agent-driven workflows alongside traditional Git-based development.
