Netlify literally helped me get my first job. I was able to showcase my works which I had hosted using Netlify. It's easy CI/CD helped me not worry about the hassle of deploying my code manually everytime I made some changes.

It is very easy to get started with the site deployment process. You just have to set up your repository then let Netlify handle the rest. I also like the fact that your changes to your repository are automatically deployed.

From my experience it cannot be used to deploy your backends, it only supports front end deployment or static sites.

Overall for the proc

One click deployment and integration with GitHub

License based on committers. Only licensed users are able to auto deploy. After 5 years, you are expected to go on enterprise plan. There are no mid size say 10-50 seats.

We had a decent experience with Netlify, but found ourselves glad to switch away from it.

When we began to use Netlify, we found it super easy to get started with. We had our project up and running within an hour.

Netlify has a severe lack of features for the cost, compared to services like Vercel.

I was using Netlify since 2 years ago and till now, my overall experience with Netlify is so good. And, In these two years, Netfliy added so many features and upgrades which made easily development process for everyone from beginners to professionals.

There are so many features in Netlify that I enjoy using like: Collab with the team/users, Custom domain, Auto-update/deploy and etc. And, I used most features of Netlify for my web applications on a daily basis which makes my apps always ready with updated pages. Also, Netlify smartly handles all my projects.

There is nothing that I don't like about Netlify but one thing that I want to point out is that the UI of the site can be improved. And, If Netlify can make an easy option for deploying server-side apps then that would be great. Other than that, I am happy and enjoying the feel of deploying static apps o Netlify!

I enjoy using this service to quickly prototype front-ends and deliver them

Netlify works as advertised, you don't have to know about DevOps handling or anything to do with cloud hosting. You can deploy your static apps right from your hosting provider, whether it is Gitlab or Github, it just works. The starting price is also free so you can deploy your multiple projects for free and have a custom domain, these are features I really enjoy, just simplicity at its best.

So far I haven't really found something I didn't like about Netlify, they are doing their best to push the Jamstack tech ahead and this is great.

I migrated all of my small / personal web projects and passed almost all back-end work to Netlify while remaining a developer with the ability to customize back-end functionality. Now creating, testing, experimenting. I will propose / recommend Netlify to my new clients.

1. Opensource. 2. All-in-one (Full stack) / JAM stack. Accumulated very useful features in one central place for site maintenance. 3. Innovative. 4. Continuous deployment. 5. Github / Let's Encrypt (SSL/TLS) integrations. 6. Very flexible. 7. WIP / experimental. 8. Pricing / Free plan. 9. Serverless and headless cms (Contentful) integrations. 10. Has its own pluggable Netlify CMS. 11. Testing / preview pand optimizations. 12. Intuitive and simple to use. 13. "even more / even better".

I have nothing to say about the disadvantages of using netlify, especially for small and even medium-sized web projects, except that some functions are still on testing or beta.

It takes a lot of effort to convince your clients that static sites are not dead and that their back in the game, I started with Netlify soon after I started developing sites with static sites generators like Hugo and Jekyll. The main problem with those generators is a CMS-like editing feature and the deployment of your changes. Netlify has made it possible, they have their own CMS integrable with most of the static site generators and the deployment is a breeze, just connect your repository with Netlify and the site will deploy automatically for every commit. With that you have a CMS where your non-tech savvy clients can upload their content, an instant deploy and the speed and security of the static sites. Last but not least you can deploy every branch you a custom subdomain, branch.yourdomain.com for example. How cool is that! Their build logs are really helpful to find what went wrong and their support was awesome, even on their free plan.

Overall I have no reals cons to say. It just does what it promises.

Netlify makes connecting the REST API for Wordpress to GatsbyJs stupid simple. It took me a matter of minutes to import my project from BitBucket and then add a webhook that would update the repository anytime a Wordpress post was updated. This relationship between these three technologies (Netlify, Gatsby, and Wordpress) is the golden trio that allows for our customers to use the familiar Wordpress backend to manage their posts and pages while not relying on an outdated technology for the front-end framework of their site.

The one negative I found was the pricing structure they had for simple integrations like contact forms. In my opinion, the pricing is unrealistic to charge for a simple service like email notifications or slack notifications.

Huge time saver in deploying (and being forced to learn how to construct!) static sites. It's set off a love affair in how to implement this technology in my consulting business with clients who definitely need things to be low maintenance.

The features available fully for even the free tier of their services are phenomenal. And the pricing for the pro features is SO reasonable, especially compared to traditional hosting (I use for headless CMS deployment and for testing purposes). Also, I appreciate that the language they use is plain English and can really be understood by even the newest noobs.

I hate to even put anything for cons because the offering is so great. If I HAD to pick something, I would say have everything be free (including all pro features). That said, that's not necessarily a realistic expectation on my part, just wishful thinking. Honestly I wish I would've known about them sooner. Much cheaper and easier to use for a noob than for example Heroku which is still rad, just higher level of difficulty.

Netlify has been a revelation for me, gone are the days of trying to figure out how to set up SSL or how to configure my domain, it has taken all the pain of deploying static sites.

- Simple to use and get started - Have a generous free tier - Automatic deploys and builds from GitHub - Free SSL certificates - how cool is that! - Ability to add your own custom domain

- Nothing, there is nothing I don't like about Netlify, the ease of use and functionality together make it the best platform to run static sites.

I have moved all my websites to Netlify due to the easy deployment and the easy management with domains etc. Would recommend it to everyone!

It was a bit slow to connect my domains but can't complain, it's awesome

The most interesting thing about Netlify is the way they help you to connect to different source code control apps like GitHub and GitLab so that you code can be deployed from their immediately.

Netlify tries to do everything as better as they can. But one thing they can improve is the way of showing errors to users. They have to give much details about an error.

Used it initially to deploy lower environments for apps at work, with pricing changes we decreased the work and planning to move everything out of Netlify

Easy to set up and auto deploy based on branch in code source supports nice features like dns etc

Pricing changed a lot over time making it unpredictable and hard to manage

I was sceptik since I could do most of what it does with a few clicks using Jetbrains Webstorm commercial version, but when I managed to git push and automatically see netlify make the build and deploy it, i was stunned! Its really nice and Im so happy they have a free tier to start getting the hang of it.

impressive ease of use for the power it provides. github linking. build command automatically executed!! url prettifying free https

it was a bit of work to understand things that I'm not used to do (all server stuff) but I think they made these things much easier to understand and do than if I tried to learn it all from scratch on another deploy system.

I can't say enough good things about Netlify, the best thing about it, Is how easy it is to deploy your website, in a matter of seconds! it's really easy to use, it has all the bells and whistles if you want or need to get further, The solution they provide are superior to github pages, or any other service for that matter.

I never say that, and it might sound corny, but really there is nothing bad about it, It does exactly what it says, in the easiest way possible, kudos Netlify!

Very simple and easy to use. The free tier is packed with features, and the paid plans are reasonably priced. Documentation is good. Great third-party integrations.

I don't have any complaints. Everything does what I want it to do.

really like the set of of features that netlify is building out -- in that sense, comparable to Cloudflare and Vercel -- all are innovating

again, pricing structure for all of these is wonky - Vercel, Netlify, Cloudflare, and none feel like properly designed for come grow with us

The interface is very fast and intuitive, it's almost laughable effortless to set up a build chain compiling from a git branch and configure a custom domain. Take note hosting giants.

So far I have no cons I'm just filling this box because it's required.

Setting it up is super easy and you can get your frontend website running within half an hour. It integrate with git workflow flawlessly and it automatically deploys newest changes really quick.

You can only host static websites. Apart from that, there is really nothing to complain much about.

It's just so easy. I was shocked. Deployment for me has been a task frought with minutia in the past, this made everything simple.

Its free, deployment was as simple as pointing it at my github repository, then it just worked. Attach my domain name, point it to the netlify name servers wait an hour and then one click lets encrypt https support. Absolute magic.

The only thing that I can think of is that maybe one day I'll be so attached to them that a price increase (from the current free amount) will be a mandatory step. I can't see this being a big deal though, you can always move away.

It is a good tool with everything you need without looking at another app with similar functionalities, it is a cost-effective application, it is worth what you need to have.

It contains everything you need in a single package, intuitive practical functions and easy to use. The best part is that you can customize your work to the maximum.

It is usually a bit heavy when loading for the first time and its price is relatively high, in relation to other similar products

My overall experience has been great and I still use it to run my simpler personal projects in order to test how they work and look in the real world.

Connects and pulls automagically from Github branches and runs a live version on its own servers. It is very quick, modern and easy to use.

I couldn't find an easy way to run my NodeJS, Angular, Postgres app, so I ended up using Heroku in this specific instance.

How could I miss out such an amazing thing. I now transferred all my static websites to Netlify. Not only it saves my clients heaps of money the speed and workflow improved so much.

I use the netlify form feature very often. I wish I could customize the email more so it looks professional.

I wasted 2 days troubleshooting slow image load times on my live site. I thought I had done something wrong, but as soon as I switched over to Firebase, it completely fixed the issue and I won't be going back to Netlify because of this reason.

- Super easy deploy through Github repos - Good support that is quick to respond and provides detailed help

- Their LMF system for image hosting and delivery of resized assets seems great, but it mangled my git tree multiple times and I was never able to get it working - Their basic tier does not serve images as quickly as it should. I would say it is unusably slow.

It had been a great experience with Netlify, As i developed my first web development project , I used netlify to deploy it and it was a very smooth and great experience. It also provide free local domains for sample projects which is really awesome.

According to me, as much as I have used this software till now, there is no such feature which i will like the least
