Overview
Netlify is a San Francisco-based software company that runs a platform for starting, building and shipping full-stack web applications. Founded in 2014, the venture-backed company operates with a global team. The platform is built around agent experience (AX), a term the company coined for a shared workflow in which humans and AI agents work side by side to take software from idea to production. Platforms of this kind sit between code generation and hosting, handling the deployment, stability and debugging steps that grow harder as AI tools speed up how often changes ship.
The platform combines modern web frameworks, serverless functions, edge computing and managed Postgres, with AI coding agents such as Claude Code, Codex CLI and Gemini CLI built in. Projects can start from a prompt, a Git push, the command line or a drag-and-drop upload, and every change gets a private preview URL before going live on a global CDN. Further building blocks include Agent Runners for prototyping and shipping changes with AI agents, an AI Gateway for connecting to AI models, built-in identity, file storage, Image CDN and one-click rollbacks. Bundling these pieces lets teams avoid stitching together separate hosting, database and function providers, which is a common reason buyers pick an integrated platform.
More than 14 million builders use Netlify, ranging from solo developers and vibe coders to Fortune 100 companies and teams at Figma, Mattel and Riot Games. Typical use cases include marketing sites, ecommerce storefronts, internal tools and AI-powered features, and more than 60 million apps have been deployed on the platform. This range shows how one deployment workflow can serve both individual experimenters and enterprise web teams.
