What Netlify is

Netlify is a platform for building, deploying, and scaling modern web applications, including corporate sites, ecommerce, and SaaS applications. Agent Runners can create a project from a prompt or iterate on a live app using Claude, Gemini, Codex, or OpenCode. The platform also includes serverless functions, databases, authentication, storage, and AI model access. Each branch, pull request, or agent run receives a unique deploy preview URL. Netlify says projects run on its global edge network, with more than 100 locations, HTTPS, DDoS protection, and auto-scaling. Its integration directory covers areas including AI agents, content management, databases, identity, analytics, security, and testing. The Free plan costs nothing and includes 300 credits per month, one concurrent build, and one team owner. Personal costs $9 a month; Pro starts at $20 a month. Free-plan monthly limits are hard limits. When a site reaches a monthly usage limit, it pauses until the next billing cycle; exceeding limits on one project pauses all projects on the account. Netlify describes security measures including encryption and access controls.
