Netlify is a platform we assess in the garden.

Summary

Key points:

Topic	Notes
Deploy paths	Git push, Netlify CLI, drag-and-drop, or dashboard prompts
Config	`netlify.toml` for build command, publish dir, redirects, headers, and plugins
Previews	Unique URL per branch and PR; one-click production deploy or rollback
Primitives	Functions, Edge Functions, Background and Scheduled Functions, Blobs, Netlify Database
Edge	Global CDN with HTTPS and DDoS protection on by default; High-Performance Edge on Enterprise
Pricing	Credit-based tiers; Free includes limited monthly credits; Pro and Enterprise add seats, SLAs, and support

Typical workflow: connect a GitHub (or GitLab/Bitbucket) repo, set build command and output directory, enable deploy previews on PRs, add env vars per context (production vs preview), and use redirects for SPA routing or legacy paths.

Pairs with: static site generators (Hugo, Astro, Next.js static export), headless CMS webhooks for rebuild-on-publish, and light API routes via functions when a full Kubernetes service is overkill.
