Our take
Servers have been essential to web development since the rise of the internet, but advancements in online infrastructure are causing them to become antiquated. This has resulted in a demand for an alternative to servers that is easier to deploy and scale on today’s web.
Netlify provides a platform that takes care of back-end infrastructure for front-end developers. The technology uses a new server architecture named Jamstack which migrates development functionality to a web browser. As a result, websites can be rendered directly through API microservices instead of calling servers.
The company has more than 4 million developers, and continues to focus on scaling its enterprise customer roster which currently includes Google, Facebook and Unilever. It has also adapted to support developers in the AI age, supplying extensions for observability and prerender, as well as an AI Gateway.
