What is Netlify?

Netlify is a platform for building and deploying websites. Its Free plan includes deploys from Git or API, unlimited deploy previews, custom domains with SSL, functions, blob storage and a global CDN. The Free plan has a 300-credit limit, and usage such as production deploys and bandwidth draws from those credits. Paid plans add things like private organisation repos and longer analytics.
