What is Netlify?

A cloud platform for deploying and hosting websites and web applications with built-in CI/CD.

Why It Matters

Netlify makes deploying modern web projects simple with features like form handling and serverless functions.

Real-World Example

Pushing code to GitHub and having Netlify automatically build and deploy the updated site in minutes.

“Understanding terms like Netlify matters because it helps you have better conversations with developers and make smarter decisions about your software. You do not need to be technical. You just need to know enough to ask the right questions.”

Callum Holt, Founder, 13Labs
