Rapid hosting has simplified my CI/CD workflows but still needs better hybrid integration options

  • February 20, 2026
  • Review provided by PeerSpot

What is our primary use case?

My main use case for Netlify Platform is that I hosted one of my projects there, and I use it solely for hosting.

A quick, specific example of the project I hosted on Netlify Platform is that it was a kind of chat application.

The chat application I developed was not real-time, but I used Socket.IO for real-time chatting.

What is most valuable?

Netlify Platform is a cloud computing platform, so it is very easy to deploy there and also scale modern applications. It is serverless, where I can deploy my application via serverless function, so Netlify Platform manages my whole application, just as AWS does.

Netlify Platform offers best features including automated CI/CD, serverless function, global edge network, and deploy preview, which are key features that I appreciate.

Out of those features, I find myself relying on automated CI/CD the most because as soon as I commit anything on my GitHub, it directly picks up and deploys it on that server rather than doing manual work.

Additionally, I think the serverless function stands out because I can just run my backend logic without managing the server using Netlify function, which is provided by AWS Lambda, and it also supports JavaScript, TypeScript, and Go.

Netlify Platform has positively impacted my organization and my projects because it does make things easier. I watched a YouTube tutorial and deployed it, and it was very quick.

What needs improvement?

I am not much aware of deploying platforms right now, so I don't have many suggestions for how Netlify Platform can be improved.

I feel that there could be improvements. I think it should integrate a specific front-end or back-end, and it could connect with other deploying platforms, which could bring some benefit of hosting a back-end on another website and deploying a front-end on another website. I think it should use a hybrid model.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using Netlify Platform since I hosted a project in my college, so I have worked with it for between one to two months.

What other advice do I have?

My advice for others looking into using Netlify Platform is that if you want to deploy your website very easily and very quickly, then you should try Netlify Platform.

I want to add that Netlify Platform is a great cloud computing platform designed to simplify the development, deployment, and scaling of modern applications, so it is very good for beginners, especially.

I would rate Netlify Platform a seven or seven and a half on a scale of one to ten. I choose seven for my rating because it is very easy to deploy a website there and it offers automated CI/CD, serverless function, and especially global edge network.

Which deployment model are you using for this solution?

Public Cloud

If public cloud, private cloud, or hybrid cloud, which cloud provider do you use?

Amazon Web Services (AWS)

Streamlined CI/CD has accelerated personal project launches and simplifies collaborative reviews

  • February 20, 2026
  • Review provided by PeerSpot

What is our primary use case?

My main use case for Netlify Platform is deploying my personal projects and utilizing the CI/CD capabilities.

A specific example of a project I deployed using Netlify Platform is an e-commerce app, which is a single-page application. I integrated it with Netlify using GitHub, enabling automatic deployment.

Day-to-day, I mainly use Netlify Platform for deployment and for generating a URL to share with my friends, who review the projects on social media.

What is most valuable?

The best features Netlify Platform offers include very easy integration and CI/CD. Whenever I update anything, it is deployed automatically, and I appreciate those features significantly.

The easy integration and CI/CD features of Netlify Platform have made my workflow smoother since I integrated it with my GitHub, and it worked very well without needing anything else.

Netlify Platform helps me launch projects 90% faster mainly because of the deployment process and contribution capabilities.

Netlify Platform positively impacts my work by helping me launch projects faster and collaborate better, which is very useful when I am working on my personal projects.

What needs improvement?

Overall, I find everything good with Netlify Platform. I have everything I use and want, but in the future, I hope it will be integrated with AI too.

A small improvement I would like to see for Netlify Platform is support for some CLI commands since earlier it was only for dashboard tasks. If it supports CLI commands, that would be better.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using Netlify Platform for my personal projects, having deployed more than 10 plus projects. I appreciate it because of their CI/CD and very smooth deployment process.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

Netlify Platform's scalability is good, as it can handle growth and larger projects in my experience.

How are customer service and support?

Netlify Platform's customer support is adequate. It can handle inquiries, and I have had a good experience when reaching out.

Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

Previously, I only used GitHub deployment, but then I learned about Netlify Platform and its CI/CD capabilities with GitHub integration, which I found very useful.

What was our ROI?

I have seen a return on investment with Netlify Platform because I have saved money, particularly on deployment and buying servers, as it manages everything very well, making it very useful for me.

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

My experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing for Netlify Platform is that it is feasible. Online, I can use whatever the price is, and it is user-friendly as well.

Which other solutions did I evaluate?

Before choosing Netlify Platform, I evaluated other options, but for me, Netlify Platform is stable.

What other advice do I have?

I recommend connecting Netlify Platform with GitHub for automatic deployment. If you want to set any environment variable, it has its own dashboard where you can update the settings.

My advice to others looking into using Netlify Platform is that it is very easy to use and easy to implement CI/CD.

I would rate this review an 8 out of 10.

Efficient deployment has enabled me to launch front end projects quickly and manage CI CD workflows

  • February 13, 2026
  • Review provided by PeerSpot

What is our primary use case?

I have been using Netlify Platform since three years to host my websites, mainly React-based websites. Netlify Platform is very easy to use.

I primarily use Netlify Platform for hosting my personal projects, which are front-end projects. The projects I deployed include a real-time code platform and real-time social media websites. I deployed those React projects onto Netlify Platform.

I have been using it to deploy front-end websites only. I have also hosted serverless functions a few times, but mostly it is based on front-end React.

What is most valuable?

The best features are the ease with which you can deploy your website and the fact that you get a URL instantaneously. You can deploy your front-end and get the URL with just a few clicks.

The Git integration feature is excellent because I primarily deploy my projects on GitHub and Netlify instantly creates a CI/CD pipeline with GitHub. Whenever I push new code, it automatically deploys that code onto its platform and I am able to see my deployed version instantly. Git integration is a great feature and I can also see versioning, which is very important. Although I have not used instant rollback, different branches allow me to instantly review code and merge it to my main branch, which is a great feature.

Netlify Platform has significantly saved my time while deploying front-end applications. Whenever I redeploy anything, I need to constantly change my code on GitHub and it instantly redeploys everything to the cloud and I can see my code visually live whenever I push new code. This has greatly impacted me positively.

I could save five to six hours per week. Per day, I save approximately one hour using Netlify Platform.

What needs improvement?

I wish Netlify Platform had given me more options to deploy other platforms, other things that Netlify Platform does not currently support, such as Node.js applications or Java-based back-end applications or real-time applications. It would be great if it had included databases as well.

Support and documentation are up to par, but regarding pricing, Netlify Platform could include student-based pricing, which would be easier for hobby projects and developer-based pricing for those not looking for business upgrades, just for hobby projects.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

Netlify Platform is stable ninety-five percent of the time. It does not sleep if the server is not used, unlike Vercel. If you are not using the instance on Vercel, it goes to sleep, but Netlify Platform was better. It does not sleep.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

Netlify Platform can handle big projects and the scalability options provided are good across different tiers to improve it. It gives options to scale horizontally and vertically both, so I think it is good.

How are customer service and support?

The customer support on Netlify Platform is excellent. Whenever I require any assistance or have questions about how to use Netlify Platform, I receive a reply instantly and their support is ten out of ten.

Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

Previously, I used on-premise solutions that Netlify Platform does not currently support, such as AWS EC2 instances and other platforms in which I had to manually set up everything. Netlify Platform gave me the option to do it on the fly without much hassle.

Which other solutions did I evaluate?

I have tried Vercel, which is also a good competitor to Netlify Platform, and it was the main competitor I tried to understand. However, the pricing model of Vercel was slightly expensive for my needs, so it was out of my budget. The feature set which Netlify Platform provided was exactly what I needed.

What other advice do I have?

My advice would be that if you are looking for a platform which gives you an ease of deployment and is easy to access and maintain your application at a scalability level and you require good customer support, Netlify Platform is the platform you should choose as it provides customer support, scalability and ease of deployment. I give this platform a rating of eight out of ten.

Instant deployments have accelerated my hobby projects and simplified team collaboration

  • February 11, 2026
  • Review provided by PeerSpot

What is our primary use case?

My main use case for Netlify Platform is for hobby purposes and for testing purposes. For example, I need to deploy some instant React applications, so I use it for that. I can instantly deploy with only one command, connect to GitHub, and directly using Netlify Platform, I deploy my React applications.

I do not have anything else to add about my main use case or how I use Netlify Platform.

What is most valuable?

The best features Netlify Platform offers include the instant connect to GitHub directly; just run one command and it deploys the app.

The instant GitHub integration and one-command deployment save me time and make things easier.

Netlify Platform has positively impacted my organization by boosting productivity; we can instantly deploy and save time. Additionally, for collaboration, multiple developers can connect and collaborate with it.

What needs improvement?

I don't think Netlify Platform can be improved; it already has a lot of features, it's good, and everything is good. So currently, I don't think so from my side.

I wish Netlify Platform would implement features such as Python support, FastAPI, and all those things; back-end things, not just for static files such as React and Next.js, but also support for Python.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using Netlify Platform for around three years to deploy my React applications.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

Netlify Platform is stable.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

Netlify Platform's scalability is good; I work with five people simultaneously, and I think it has good traffic handling and all those things. I also check analytics in Netlify Platform and implement things such as exact count and all that.

How are customer service and support?

I haven't had a chance to interact with customer support for Netlify Platform; I think everything is in the documents and all that, so I didn't have a chance to connect with customer care.

Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

I previously used Vercel before Netlify Platform; then later, one of my friends suggested I try Netlify Platform, so I tried it and it had a different overview and UI. I love all the things in Netlify Platform.

What was our ROI?

I have seen a return on investment with Netlify Platform; it's money saved. Also, for a free user, for testing purposes, they can also deploy applications and save their time. Additionally, for the personal, pro, and enterprise plans, I think it's a good platform.

Which other solutions did I evaluate?

I did not evaluate other options before choosing Netlify Platform; currently, I just use Netlify Platform.

What other advice do I have?

My advice for others looking into using Netlify Platform is simply this: you can just use Netlify Platform and check your experience. It was good.

I think Netlify Platform already has a lot of features. Other platforms don't have some features, but in Netlify Platform, a lot of features are already provided. So I love Netlify Platform.

I give this review an overall rating of ten out of ten.

Simple deployments have saved time and now need better AI features and secret management

  • February 08, 2026
  • Review provided by PeerSpot

What is our primary use case?

I have been personally using Netlify Platform for more than two years since my college days.

My main use case for Netlify Platform is to deploy services, such as my front-end applications. I deployed a weather application using Netlify Platform that allows users to check the weather for a specific place. It was a React application.

The main benefit of the projects I have deployed using Netlify Platform is the ease and simplicity of the process. You simply provide the link of your GitHub repository, and it will authorize your GitHub account using a SaaS token, then deploy your services very easily.

In my organization, we cannot use Netlify Platform because we use a different cloud provider. It is a SaaS service, and we manage our infrastructure ourselves.

I have used Netlify Platform for my personal projects, primarily for public cloud deployment.

What is most valuable?

I believe the best feature of Netlify Platform is the ease of deployment. Since it is a SaaS service, you can deploy your services very easily.

Regarding the deployment process with Netlify Platform, the simplicity is remarkable because you do not have to create build files or build pipelines. Netlify Platform manages all of that for you. You only need to provide the link of your GitHub repository, and it manages everything for you.

Netlify Platform has benefited me personally in my projects because I do not have to manage the build files or configurations to deploy services.

Netlify Platform has saved me time because I do not have to manage build pipelines or configurations. I only have to provide the link of the repository, and it deploys in less than one minute.

What needs improvement?

Netlify Platform can be improved by providing CLI services for managing projects. You can link your projects locally by installing the NPM package. I do not have any specific feedback for improvement regarding these features.

I think Netlify Platform can add some generative AI services. Recently, generative AI has been improved and has been trending in the market. Netlify Platform can add generative AI to create documentation and work on backend SaaS services. You can add integrations such as API services and a secret service so that users do not have to manage environment variables manually through the GUI or web service. Netlify Platform can access the environment variables and create a secret service so that users do not have to manually provide this information.

There are areas of improvement. I do not know about recent improvements that Netlify Platform has made related to generative AI, but adding those generative AI features would help it trend in the market. I have not seen or heard about any generative AI features provided by Netlify Platform.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been personally using Netlify Platform for more than two years.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

I do not remember experiencing any stability issues, so I cannot provide details about that.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

Since this was a personal project, there was no concern about scalability.

How are customer service and support?

I have not reached out to customer support.

Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

I have not used any different solution previously.

How was the initial setup?

I was on the free tier with Netlify Platform, so I did not face any issues regarding setup. It was a good experience.

What about the implementation team?

I do not know who was involved in the implementation.

What was our ROI?

For personal use, I have used Netlify Platform and have saved time. However, I do not think there was any learning involved because I was not able to build that project or manage the configuration for deployment. It was easy for me, and it has saved time for deploying small services or applications.

Which other solutions did I evaluate?

I have seen different platforms compared to Netlify Platform, such as Heroku and Vercel. I chose Netlify Platform because the onboarding was easier and it was providing good services on the free tier.

What other advice do I have?

A gift card would be better. Haiku would also be better. The interview was really good, and the questions were impressive. I would rate this review seven out of ten.

Automated deployments have streamlined hosting workflows and save significant development time

  • January 30, 2026
  • Review from a verified AWS customer

What is our primary use case?

My main use case for Netlify Platform is hosting. I host sites with environment variables or without them as a place to map over to GitHub, so every time I push, it automatically deploys to production. It is very convenient. Domain management is available in Netlify Platform, but that is not my primary use.

What is most valuable?

Netlify Platform offers many features. The automation is the best feature of Netlify Platform. It is easy to use. Netlify Platform has positively impacted my organization by being very productive. I have saved a lot of time overall. It is easier to debug if builds break, which is a workflow that has become more efficient because of Netlify Platform.

What needs improvement?

The only thing I really do not like about Netlify Platform is that when I look up an article, there is a lot of fluff instead of easily searchable content. That might be my only complaint, but I like the interface. Everything is very obvious and easy to learn.

It would be cool if Netlify Platform had suggestions on how I could use features because I know there are many features that I may not understand how they work and I am unaware of. With artificial intelligence, being able to learn based on behavior, it might provide a notification like 'Hey, this feature, here is how to learn more,' or something similar.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using Netlify Platform for around six years.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

Netlify Platform is usually stable.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

Netlify Platform's scalability is pretty good since I have no issues with it.

Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

I was previously using Bluehost, and I have hosted some things through GitHub Pages. I have used DigitalOcean before, which is not necessarily hosting but more about housing different droplets. I do not do anything crazy technical, so I use SvelteKit, which is a full-stack platform for building apps, and usually Neon or I have used Supabase or local Postgres. Netlify Platform is good at handling environment variables, loading up files, and being ready to go.

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

My experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing for Netlify Platform is that the pricing is reasonable. It is a small team, so it was not too expensive. It was very easy to set up a team and start adding projects.

What other advice do I have?

If others are looking into using Netlify Platform, I would advise that if you do not have crazy technical requirements, it is a very good option. Even as a solo developer, it is basically free. It is really nice if you are deploying many sites through repositories to map it to your main branch and auto-deploy. This is a game changer as a developer.

I would like to say to Netlify Platform team to keep doing what you are doing. I am looking forward to seeing what you do in the future. I give this review a rating of 10.

Which deployment model are you using for this solution?

Public Cloud

If public cloud, private cloud, or hybrid cloud, which cloud provider do you use?

Effortless Deployment and Automation with Netlify

  • January 27, 2026
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
I like that I'm able to deploy my web applications on Netlify easily using a live link. This feature is useful for publishing both front-end and back-end applications like those built with React, Next.js, Angular, Vue, and Django. The platform allows me to connect to real applications and deploy for various purposes such as ecommerce stores or client projects. I appreciate using artificial intelligence to help detect errors during deployment and enhance productivity. The command line interface, continuous integration, and continuous development features are great for ensuring my applications are always deployable and up to date, which helps prevent vulnerabilities and software rejections. Netlify automates the deployment process, checking for exposed .env variables and outdated software, which is crucial for maintaining security and functionality.
What do you dislike about the product?
Netlify has where it requires you use a certain amount of credits. They have their own command line interface, which I can easily use within the terminal rather than using the web application. Or the web version and being able to manually deploy it. It also gives me error messages when it hasn't been successfully deployed to the platform and posted to the web. There's also some ways of detecting any vulnerabilities and how I can improve and protect the web application from vulnerabilities. Just like Cloudflare or Vercel, Vercel has a detection where it can tell if you're vulnerable and which platform is vulnerable.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use Netlify to deploy applications with live links, automate deployments using CLI, detect errors with AI, and ensure up-to-date software. It helps me showcase projects and handle servers efficiently, boosting productivity.

Streamlined full‑stack deployments have saved time and now support dynamic personal projects

  • January 26, 2026
  • Review provided by PeerSpot

What is our primary use case?

My main use case for Netlify Platform is deploying front-end and back-end applications, particularly when I need a custom domain. For example, if I have a React application that I want to deploy and make available to the world, Netlify Platform is an excellent option.

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.

What is most valuable?

The best features Netlify Platform offers include a comprehensive range of template deployments for different technology stacks, whether Python back-end, React, or Vue.js. Netlify Platform automatically compiles my code when I select a GitHub branch and specify the stack, detects the most suitable stack type, creates a build, and deploys it in the optimal manner. Additionally, using a set of environment variables to inject them in real-time is highly valuable.

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.

What needs improvement?

Netlify Platform is excellent overall. One minor improvement I would appreciate is the AI feature they introduced, which appears very promising. I have not tested it yet, but I am looking forward to exploring it.

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.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using Netlify Platform for almost two to two and a half years, and I use it for deploying my personal applications.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

Netlify Platform is generally stable, and I have not experienced significant downtime or issues. There was a time approximately one and a half to two years ago when the back-end VMs experienced some downtime, but it was not a major issue and was resolved quickly.

How are customer service and support?

Netlify Platform's customer support is excellent. I once emailed them regarding a task, and they responded quickly during their regular office hours. I would characterize their support as very good.

Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

Previously, I deployed my applications using standard static VMs. For static applications, I preferred GitHub Pages, and for non-static applications, I used either AWS EC2 instances or GCP VMs or cloud runs. Since discovering Netlify Platform, I no longer see the need to use GCP or AWS for my custom applications.

How was the initial setup?

Regarding my experience with pricing, setup costs, and licensing, I have not needed to purchase licensing because I have only used Netlify Platform for personal projects. Upon preliminary review, the pricing appeared somewhat higher. However, corporations may not hesitate to purchase at that price point. Some personal creators who are emerging might find the pricing somewhat higher than expected.

What was our ROI?

I have realized a return on investment in terms of time saved and reduced manual tasks. When creating personal projects previously, I had to first configure the deployment environment, create build scripts, and establish an entire CI/CD pipeline. Now with Netlify Platform, I simply push my code to a branch, and with a single click on configuration, my application is built and deployed.

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

I have not needed to purchase licensing because I have only used Netlify Platform for personal projects. Upon preliminary review, the pricing appeared somewhat higher. However, corporations may not hesitate to purchase at that price point. Some personal creators who are emerging might find the pricing somewhat higher than expected.

What other advice do I have?

I would advise others considering Netlify Platform to explore the entire application thoroughly. There are many features that may prove quite useful, such as how to deploy, configure authentication, set cron jobs, and establish different configurations including proper NGINX certificates and SSL domains. I recommend taking proper time, building small applications, attempting to deploy them, using different types of configurations, and exploring Netlify Platform as comprehensively as possible. I would rate my overall experience with this platform as an eight out of ten.

Hosting personal portfolios has been smooth and saves costs while deployment stays effortless

  • January 26, 2026
  • Review provided by PeerSpot

What is our primary use case?

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.

What is most valuable?

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.

What needs improvement?

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.

For how long have I used the solution?

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.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

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

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

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.

How are customer service and support?

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.

Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

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.

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

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.

Which other solutions did I evaluate?

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

What other advice do I have?

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.
