In 2025, it focuses on "Platform Primitives" – giving frameworks low-level control over caching, image optimization, and routing. ## When to Use - **Static Sites**: Gatsby, Hugo, Astro. Best-in-class CDN. - **Framework Agnostic**: Great support for Remix, Nuxt, SvelteKit, not just Next.js. - **Netlify Create**: Visual editor integration for CMS-driven sites. ## Quick Start ```bash npm i -g netlify-cli # Run local dev environment (simulates Lambda/Edge) netlify dev # Deploy netlify deploy --prod ``` ## Core Concepts ### Deploy Previews Every Pull Request gets a URL. It stays alive forever (immutable). ### Netlify Drawer Collaboration tool overlay on preview builds. ### Edge Functions (Deno) Run logic at the edge using Deno. Good for A/B testing, Geolocation, Auth middleware. ## Best Practices (2025) **Do**: - **Use `netlify.toml`**: configure redirects, headers, and build settings as code. - **Use Netlify Image CDN**: Automatic format optimization (AVIF/WebP). - **Use Blob Storage**: For large assets / user uploads. **Don't**: - **Don't hardcode redirects in JS**: Use `_headers` or `_redirects` files for CDN-level performance. ## References - [Netlify Documentation](https://docs.netlify.com/) --- > Converted and distributed by [TomeVault](https://tomevault.io/claim/g1joshi) — claim your Tome and manage your conversions.
