Overall Satisfaction with Netlify Platform

To deploy and host static websites, we used Netlify Platform. Netlify is a simple platform that allows you to quickly deploy applications to its servers. It integrates seamlessly with GitHub for CI/CD process, where we kept our code repositories. One of the best things about Netlify is that it automatically performs a preview deployment for any commit in feature branches, allowing you to review the changes before you go to production.
  • Preview deployment
  • DNS management
  • CI/CD integration
  • The total build minutes in free tier could be increased
  • Custom domain
  • Preview deployments
  • Seamless CI/CD integration
  • CDN support
  • Reduced time to go live
  • Made DevOps easy
Netlify is best for static websites (JAM stack websites) hosting. It supports continuous integration and continuous deployment out of the box which is not there in Firebase or Heroku. It uses CDN, which optimizes images, videos, and documents on the fly. In short, Netlify is the way to go for frontend apps or static web apps.
