What is Netlify?
Netlify is a platform for deploying and hosting websites and web apps. You connect a Git repo, an AI tool or the API, and Netlify builds and serves the site on a global CDN, with functions, storage, a Postgres database, forms and deploy previews built in. New accounts use credit-based pricing, where deploys, compute, bandwidth and requests draw from a monthly credit allowance.
