About Netlify
Netlify created the Jamstack category in 2016 and has been quietly out-shipped by Vercel ever since. The platform is still excellent — first-class for static sites and SPAs, generous free tier, good DX for non-Next.js frameworks (Astro, Eleventy, SvelteKit). The 2024 pivot into 'platform primitives' (Edge Functions, Blobs) closed some gaps with Vercel but the framework-of-record narrative has gone elsewhere. Best read as the right call for content-heavy static sites and teams not on Next.js.
✓Best for
- Static sites, blogs and marketing sites built on Astro, Eleventy, Hugo
- Teams that want generous free hosting without inheriting Vercel's bill curve
- Anyone migrating off Cloudflare Pages who wants more build-system flexibility
−Probably skip if
- Next.js-first teams — Vercel ships features faster and integrates deeper
- Cost-sensitive global apps at scale — Cloudflare's network is cheaper and bigger
