Netlify
Definition
Netlify connects website builds, deployment, and other web services.
The platform publishes web projects from development workflows and offers, among other things, preview environments and server-side functions. Scope and limits depend on the respective product.
Simply explained
A code change results in a verifiable preview page and then a publication.
Why it matters in practice
This can simplify collaboration between development and editorial teams.
Example from business
Hypothetical: A team reviews a new page via a deployment preview before release.
Limits and pitfalls

Origin & history
Netlify originated as a platform for modern web deployment.
Use in mid-sized companies
- SMEs can prepare and publish website changes in a controlled manner.
Frequently asked questions
