What is Netlify?
Turkish: Netlify
Netlify deploys static sites and Jamstack applications from Git, combining build automation, a global CDN, and serverless functions.
What is Netlify?
Netlify is a cloud platform that builds static sites and Jamstack applications from a Git repository, publishes them through a CDN, and can add dynamic behavior with serverless functions. It brings deploys, previews, and rollbacks into one workflow for frontend teams.
When a developer pushes code to GitHub, GitLab, or Bitbucket, Netlify can run the build command, publish the output directory to its global edge network, and create a preview URL for each pull request.
Core Components
- Build pipeline: Runs commands such as
npm run buildbased on the framework. - Deploy preview: Creates shareable URLs before code reaches production.
- CDN delivery: Serves static files from edge locations close to users.
- Serverless functions: Handles forms, webhooks, or small API endpoints.
- Redirect and header rules: Manages SEO redirects, security headers, and routing behavior.
Business Use
Netlify is well suited for marketing sites, documentation, blogs, micro-sites, landing pages, and statically generated applications. Projects using SSG with Astro, Next.js, Nuxt, or Eleventy can get a fast deployment workflow.
It overlaps with Cloudflare Pages. The choice depends on the existing DNS/CDN setup, edge function needs, team habits, pricing, and observability expectations.
