Overall Satisfaction with Netlify Platform

In order to make user acceptance testing, general QA testing, and developer-based testing easier to use, we are currently automating our build and deployment processes. the business issues I resolved were having environment variables for some client-side and server-side rendering for Javascript libraries, as well as readily maintaining SSL certificates.
  • CI/CD Actions are pretty good, makes it really easy to deploy changes
  • netlify functions is a great feature it let us ran server side stuff or scripts
  • redirects module is very useful and easy to use
  • they don't offer SSR for Vue as per now
  • you need to buy a paid plan to be able to add someone as collaborator
  • Tech support isn't very helpful. I feel like I am on my own
  • CI And CD Actions for quick and continuous deployment
  • cloud functions
  • checklinks which is a great tool which helps keep our site's connections in check so we don't have any broken links as our project gets bigger.
  • it's free to get started and to work on small frontend projects for testing and qa
  • very nice DNS Management
  • quick and easy to use, reduces dev efforts
Netlify really streamlines the process of getting the latest builds out to QA or automated testing, as well as allowing developers to see their code being deployed to an environment where it can be used.
  1. Free Netlify domain with deployment in the free plan
  2. Easy to setup pipeline with GitHub
  3. Debugging Logs after each deployment
  4. Free Templates!

Would you buy Netlify Platform again?

Everything you need for the majority of projects is available, including a fairly generous free plan, custom domains, an intuitive administration interface, and cloud functions. The redirects module is strong but very easy to use. Benefits include quick cloud hosting with API functionality and easy GitHub deployment integration that is really faster
