    Netlify is a static website host, so it obviously wouldn't work for hosting dynamic websites built in PHP, such as WordPress or Drupal. It works very well with static sites with a git codebase on something like GitHub. It has automatic deployments, which include preview websites. It works very well with this workflow. There are solutions for allowing content authoring on static websites on Netlify, but I would probably reach for something like WordPress or Drupal for that.

    In our organisation we are the only team that uses Platform.sh to host any site. This was a cost effective way for us as we were using Acquia Cloud earlier for these websites. We mostly use Platform.sh for those sites which are always in development as it is simpler and faster to handle these operations in Platform.sh. Then we do a lift and shift to Acquia as we move more towards the go live and post production maintenance side.

    Pros
    Netlify
    • I can connect Github/Gitlab repos or drag and drop code folders directly to host them onto the platform, and can customize build and publish details. It handles all granular details itself, so I don't have to worry about configuring everything like I would have to do on an IaaS like AWS
    • Netlify Platform has inbuilt scalability support - meaning automatic upgrading of servers to handle traffic, without us needing to do anything at all, again, unlike IaaS, where we'd have to manually configure scaling
    • It has a built in CDN, meaning static applications can be served blazing fast over the web without worrying about traffic or latency

    • We are easily able to integrate our sites with different technologies like Python and Rest
    • Helps us in providing Continuous Development cloud deployment hosting solution

    Cons
    Netlify
    • it is not aimed at it but first party laravel support would be nice.
    • their free tier was so handy, i wish they start some similar efforts
    • incorporate more WebOps mindset

    • Platform.sh is not for beginners in my opinion. It has a good amount of learning curve in my opinion.
    • As this is a PaaS, teams habituated with cloud infrastructure may miss the server side support from their cloud teams. I believe you will have to work on server bugs more on your own.
    • During normal maintenance periods, integrations may fail if you are working on your sites in that time, in my experience.

    Usability
    Netlify
    We interact with the CLI via our CI/CD pipeline. It was very straightforward to get set up, and their documentation is thorough. There are a ton of examples online of various setups. We needed to deploy a React SPA, so we required redirects, which was straightforward with Netlify.

    In our team we use Platform.sh mostly while sites are in developmental phase. Then we do a lift and shift to either Acquia or AWS depending on the type of sites we have. Platform.sh is really cost effective and more fluid in terms of Continuous Development hence the usage. After said development is done, we generally lift and shift to Acquia for more content heavy sites and to AWS for more transaction oriented sites.

    • Continuous development for sites in build has been fluid
    • Platform.sh is really cost effective when comparing to AWS or Acquia Cloud
    • On the other side, lack of server side support demands a big learning curve from its users in my opinion.
