A specific example of an application I deployed using Netlify Platform is an end-to-end application comprising both back-end and front-end components. The back-end was built using Python FastAPI, and the front-end was built using Next.js, deployed as a complete end-to-end RAG application for retrieving Ghazals from across the internet. This application has been deployed on Netlify Platform and performs exceptionally well.

I typically use Netlify Platform for deploying applications, and an interesting capability is the ability to specify various types of environment variables and quickly configure my deployment regarding how to scale and descale, how to assign a custom domain name, and other settings.

For deploying with Netlify Platform, I generally use GCP, which is Google Cloud. However, I am indifferent to the choice because since I use the free tier, AWS, GCP, and Azure all provide free tier options, which is excellent. I have not experienced any issues so far.

Regarding the automatic stack detection on Netlify Platform, this feature saves considerable time because the standard process for deploying web applications typically involves creating an application, writing comprehensive build scripts, specifying the build configuration, and providing proper NGINX configuration. With automatic stack detection, Netlify Platform automatically configures the necessary scripts, deployment scripts, or configurations required, which I find remarkable.

Netlify Platform has positively impacted both my organization and personal projects. Previously, I deployed my applications using GitHub Pages, which only served static web pages. Now I can implement server-side rendering or create dynamic web pages, and if I want a custom domain while remaining under netlify.com, Netlify Platform is excellent for that purpose. This has been very beneficial for me.

Regarding improvements for Netlify Platform, the free tier is excellent, and the pricing seems appropriate. The pricing could potentially be reduced slightly, but I have not had the requirement to purchase an application because I did not need a custom domain. I am satisfied with my current options. Regarding the overall application, I have nothing significant to add because the observability features are present, allowing me to quickly review performance, and their different plans are suitable for my needs.

I hosted my personal portfolio on Netlify Platform, which I created using React.js, and I am now creating my portfolio using Vite React. These are two of the three portfolios I have hosted on Netlify Platform, all of which were created using React.

I directly host on Netlify Platform using my GitHub Git repository by uploading my code to the Git repository and granting Netlify Platform access to host it directly from there. By using CI/CD, whenever I make changes locally, I commit them to Git and the changes are reflected on my Netlify Platform page.

I majorly use Netlify Platform to host portfolios only, and sometimes I perform DNS configuration to specify my name on my portfolio and define my portfolio's name specifically. Normally, I simply use GitHub to host it on Netlify Platform.

If I want to host any of my portfolios on other websites, I have to pay, but Netlify Platform makes hosting free, so I feel my expenses have been saved by using Netlify Platform.

All of these features are what I feel are the best features of Netlify Platform because it deploys code from Git automatically, which is comfortable since I do not want to redeploy every time. It also allows custom domains and free SSL is an important benefit.

Netlify Platform has automatic deployment. By using that, it is very efficient to deploy recent code, so I feel comfortable with it. Even though my organization does not use Netlify Platform, I personally use Netlify Platform for my portfolios.

While using Netlify Platform, I feel that if they provided a guide to deploy code from Git, it would be more helpful. If they added some videos within Netlify Platform itself, that would be beneficial since I have to go to other sites for references.

The one reason I am not giving Netlify Platform a perfect rating is that I miss the guide to deploy code using Git. For this purpose, I have to search on other websites, so that is the reason I provided a nine. If they provided a comprehensive guide to deploy and a guide about their features, it would be perfect.

During my studies, I have been using Netlify Platform to host my websites to interact with human resources professionals and other organizations. I have been using Netlify Platform for around one and a half to two years to host my websites.

As of now, I did not notice any downtime or reliability issues with Netlify Platform.

I did not try to scale my project with Netlify Platform because it is a portfolio, so I did not try to scale it, but I will do it in the future.

As of now, I did not contact any customer support from Netlify Platform, but in reviews, I feel they are more comfortable to get support from customer service.

I did not use any hosting servers previously to host my portfolios. I started with Netlify Platform and I am comfortable with Netlify Platform, so I continued with Netlify Platform.

As of now, I have used Netlify Platform for free only, and I feel comfortable with it, so I did not explore pricing or setup costs. I feel Netlify Platform free itself is worth using.

Before choosing Netlify Platform, I evaluated AWS, but it is not free of cost, so I chose Netlify Platform to deploy my portfolio.

My advice is that you can use Netlify Platform for free, so before switching to other hosting platforms, you can use Netlify Platform because it is free of cost and it is easy to do many things. I have not mentioned anything new about Netlify Platform, and as of now, I feel comfortable with Netlify Platform. I gave this review a rating of nine.

My main use case for Netlify Platform is the deployment of all sorts of projects such as React projects, HTML projects, and other framework projects. Basically, all web-based projects and web apps are deployed on Netlify Platform.

A quick example of a project I deployed on Netlify Platform is my own portfolio website, which stands out for me. It is a very seamless, one-click process once you connect your GitHub. Then it is simple; you just connect to the right commands, add any sort of environment if needed, and it is a one-click deploy. In a minute or two, I get my live website.

I do not face any challenges with my main use case on Netlify Platform because it is a pretty simple process. Once you do it one or two times, it is done pretty easily. A good extra feature with the premium plan is that they also provide analytics and custom domain connections freely available. I did face a little bit of a challenge with a custom domain once, but I found that Netlify Platform allows us to connect custom domains easily by just adding the domain and the specific IPs, and it is done.

The best features Netlify Platform offers, in my experience, are one-click deployment, environment management, and automated deployment. You do not need to care about CI/CD workflows at all, and I think that is all for best features.

I find myself relying mostly on the one-click deployment and automated deployment features because once I deploy something, it is pretty effective. Basically, all of these features go hand in hand; after deploying, I manage the environment, and Netlify Platform automates everything. You can tweak the environment anytime and do infinite redeploys. The automated feature ensures that whenever I push new code, it automatically redeploys my site for me. The best part is having 500 web apps for free with support for almost all major frameworks.

Netlify Platform positively impacts my organization by saving time for sure.

Netlify Platform is already pretty good enough, and I think there are no significant improvements needed.

I personally have not encountered any frustration from Netlify Platform, so I am okay with it as it is. If I had to point out something minor, it would be nice if they provided some analytics for free as well.

I have been using Netlify Platform for approximately two to three years, specifically for about two and a half years.

Netlify Platform is very stable.

The scalability of Netlify Platform is pretty good; it auto-scales efficiently.

My experience with customer support for Netlify Platform has been pretty great.

I have been using Netlify Platform from the start; I used Vercel for a very few days, but while it offers more features, it is also quite expensive. Therefore, Netlify Platform wins.

My experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing for Netlify Platform is great; the pricing is very reasonable and the free tier is super. Everything is good.

I did not evaluate other options before choosing Netlify Platform; I only knew about Netlify Platform and Vercel, and I ended up using both for some specific use cases, mainly sticking with Netlify Platform.

My advice to others looking into using Netlify Platform is to just use it. If you want to deploy your things, then use it. If you get stuck somewhere, ask ChatGPT or YouTube; just put in five minutes and you will get the hang of it. I would rate this product a 9 out of 10.

My main use case for Netlify Platform is that it is easy to deploy the website without changing the code and pushing it manually by myself. Whenever I make any changes to my portfolio website, for example, if I complete any new certification or anything which I need to add to my profile, I just change the code in my local desktop and push it back to GitHub. Through GitHub, Netlify Platform picks up the updated code and it reflects back the new changes, so that made it easy with Netlify Platform cloud environment.

I have a lot to add about my main use case and how I use Netlify Platform in my workflow because it is also easy for me to use multiple options over there. For example, I sometimes use Netlify Platform CLI and sometimes I do it myself on my local desktop and push it to GitHub, but there are pretty much options in Netlify Platform. There is also a lot of documentation present in the platform where I can refer to and make changes if I need to in some other or different ways.

The best features that Netlify Platform offers, which really make it shine for me, include its recent integration of AI into it, and that is one of the main features which I like. It also allows deploying a website with the new frameworks, the modern frameworks which are in the market right now.

I like that the AI integration in Netlify Platform auto builds based on the commands because it is easy to deploy a website with just a few commands at our fingertips. When it comes to the new modern frameworks, all the other platforms require extra configurations to get deployed into the DNS servers, but using Netlify Platform, it is easy; everything is handled by Netlify Platform in the backend, and the deployment process and all the CI/CD pipeline that Netlify Platform handles is something which is good in regard to the modern frameworks which are used nowadays.

Netlify Platform has positively impacted my organization and personal projects by making it easy for me to deploy my personal portfolio website without doing all the DevOps and CI/CD pipeline myself. Netlify Platform handled that, and I just need to do my code, push it to GitHub, my repo, and Netlify Platform picks it up from there and refreshes whatever the new code changes I have made, and that made it easy for me to use for my personal project.

For the improvements in Netlify Platform, I think it should focus on better marketing because competitors like Vercel and others are present in the market. While Netlify Platform looks clean, neat, and enhanced, it should do better marketing, as it is actually recommended by ChatGPT for small-sized projects. I believe it should also be suggested for larger projects and promoted more so that Netlify Platform is used by multiple people; it should be the go-to cloud environment.

I think the technical side of Netlify Platform can improve, especially in the documentation. They can add more information about new frameworks as they come into the platform or market. They should maintain a troubleshooting page on Netlify Platform docs that comprehensively shows all the steps. Adding more user-friendly animations or navigation would make the platform easier. Moreover, with the documentation, it currently shows all the tabs at one place, and the customer should understand what each use is without having to click into it. They should support more old frameworks as well, to increase the range of utilizations since mostly old frameworks are still in the market, prompting more users to migrate to Netlify Platform.

It has been about one year since I started using Netlify Platform, and I hosted my personal portfolio on Netlify Platform cloud, so I have been using it since one year.

I have not tested Netlify Platform with a large amount of traffic for larger projects, but I have tested it with my original website, which I hosted. I sent that link to multiple people, recruiters, and friends, and whoever used that or opened it never experienced any issue with the site, such as slow loading or rendering problems, so it seems good with scalability according to me.

I have not had to reach out to customer support from Netlify Platform because I have not encountered any issues. However, I see there are options for AI and customer service; before going to customer service, we can select the AI and get help most of the time, as everything is documented. There is not much need to contact customer support unless there is a problem with billing or some technical glitch, making it not a frequently needed option.

Before choosing Netlify Platform, I used GitHub Pages, PythonAnywhere domain, and AWS hosting, but I switched to Netlify Platform because it is easy to use; everything is in one place. I do not need to manually configure or upload files as I had to with the other websites, making my work easier, so I switched to Netlify Platform from the others.

I signed up for Netlify Platform directly and did not come across any of the cloud providers such as AWS, Azure, or Google Cloud.

I think I have saved around two to three days by letting Netlify Platform handle all the DevOps and CI/CD work for my portfolio because understanding the configuration, uploading all the files, getting all the configuration right and deploying it to the DNS server takes me at least two days. It has made my workflow much easier, and I see a lot of benefits with that—it is easy to go, free to use, faster, and the UI is also user-friendly when we could find all the essential tabs and necessary things available right in the dashboard when we enter into the platform.

I have seen a return on investment with Netlify Platform; I have saved money by not spending on hosting my website on the internet using providers such as GoDaddy or some popular DNS hosting sites, which cost me hundreds per month. By using the free version provided on Netlify Platform, I save that amount, and I also save time because Netlify Platform handles the deployment processes and CI/CD by itself, so I do not need to manage it all.

I want to mention that the pricing for Netlify Platform is pretty much good. I basically started with a free trial, and there are different options available. The free version is pretty much good if we want to host a static website with a limited number of visitors, for example, a portfolio, and so coming to the pricing and UI part of the Netlify Platform dashboard, using the platform is easier for the users, and such kinds of things are pretty much good with Netlify Platform.

My experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing is that currently I am using the free version, and there are different types available which I could say are good and affordable. The price is low compared to the functionalities given by the platform, and since my portfolio website is small with a limited number of users visiting it, the free version works well for me. Upgrading to personal or pro is also a good idea, and there is also a custom enterprise option for companies, which is good for larger needs, but on a short scale, free or personal would be better.

I evaluated other options such as AWS and Vercel before ultimately choosing Netlify Platform, as I felt it was a better choice because of the pricing and ease of use with the UI. The platform is stable in my opinion, which is why I chose to use Netlify Platform.

I advise others looking into using Netlify Platform to use it for sure because they can just work on their code, push it to GitHub, connect it with Netlify Platform cloud, and then relax. After that, whatever changes they make to their code on GitHub automatically reflects back on Netlify Platform and their website, eliminating the need for much work or worrying about the pipelines and processes that happen in the backend.

I am generally satisfied with Netlify Platform, as it is going well and helping a lot of people. I hope they keep improving and adding new AI enhancements alongside both new and old existing frameworks so that they are readily available for anyone to choose. This makes the backend processes easier for any developer who chooses Netlify Platform, and I appreciate the work being done at Netlify Platform. My overall rating for this platform is that I do not have a specific numerical rating to provide at this time.

My main use case for Netlify Platform is deploying my local website to a hosted platform where I can share the link with multiple people so that they can easily access and use that particular website, which can be built in any language, irrespective of the language being used.

I use it for deployments of both back-end and front-end services. It is easy and fast to deploy websites and website applications.

Netlify Platform has positively impacted my organization because the entire CI/CD pipeline in place becomes very easy to manage using Netlify. There is no need to go to an external platform, as Netlify alone is sufficient to see the changes, and it is quite easy. Whenever I push something to my Git repository, it automatically gets triggered, making the CI/CD pipeline very convenient to use and quite better performing thanks to Netlify.

Regarding the impact of Netlify Platform, I have seen that deployment is quite easy, reducing our manpower from six people to two. It has made deployments, which were very hard before, very easy and convenient now. The error logging that previously was not easily accessible for normal users is now quite easy, making it simple to know what changes are made.

The best features Netlify Platform offers in my experience include fast deployment, error logging, and easy deployment context and flow. I am very interested in the deployment process.

Netlify Platform features include a very convenient user interface for beginners as well as intermediate or advanced users. The overall flow and plugins are very easy to use. I have used multiple plugins within it, and they are quite easy to use, such as adding environment variables, adding secrets, and adjusting the size of the hosted application, which means the memory, CPU, and virtual CPU memory are very convenient for me to manage.

Netlify Platform can improve by collaborating with different repository management platforms, which would make holding the CI/CD pipeline much easier. While it has integration with some platforms, a few are left out, such as Bitbucket, which Netlify has not done yet. If this were done correctly, it could be a very easily achievable thing for one person.

The pricing of Netlify Platform is acceptable for beginners but can become costly for intermediate users, as it can be high when CPU usage goes beyond a certain amount. While it is good, it could be reduced a little for companies spending this much on platforms that are not in production yet, though it is acceptable when in production.

I have been using Netlify Platform since three or four years, from my college days, to host my websites.

A specific example of a project I deployed using Netlify Platform is an orphanage-based website named Zanam, which was used by multiple orphanages. It was an internal website I created that was used by multiple orphanages to gather information about their children and to receive donations from people in the area.

My advice for others looking into using Netlify Platform is that it is a quick and fast way to deploy applications and an easier and convenient way to get clients on-boarded, making it very quick and fast. You do not need to take into consideration multiple things; just use this platform and proceed with it. I rate this product an eight out of ten.
