Netlify is a platform for deploying and hosting websites and web apps. You connect a Git repository, and Netlify builds and publishes each change, with preview deploys and serverless functions.
Netlify Functions add server-side logic such as API endpoints and server-side rendering, and you can also run edge, background and scheduled functions. Netlify Blobs stores unstructured data and can act as a simple key/value store, and on credit-based plans Netlify Database sets up a serverless database with a single command. The Image CDN transforms images on demand, and Netlify Forms collects submissions without backend code. You can also add login and user management, and roll back a deploy in one click.
Netlify says you can build marketing sites, ecommerce stores, web apps and AI apps on one platform. It works with frameworks such as Astro, Next.js, React, TanStack and WordPress. You can begin with a prompt, a Git push or drag and drop, and you can build with AI agents such as Claude, Codex and Gemini. Teams can manage access, secrets and environment variables by team.
Netlify’s documentation covers each part of the platform, and its support forums collect answers from staff and the community. Ask Netlify is an AI chatbot that answers questions about the product. If you still need help, you can submit a support request, and platform status is posted at netlifystatus.com. The site also links to an agency directory and to a contact page for talking with a Netlify expert.
