About Netlify
Forms that work without a backend. A Deploy Preview for every pull request.
Netlify builds and deploys sites from a connected Git repository on GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket or Azure DevOps. Opening a pull request builds a Deploy Preview at its own URL, and teammates can leave comments, screenshots and recordings on it through the Netlify Drawer. Once form detection is enabled, adding a netlify attribute to an HTML form lets Netlify detect it at deploy time and collect submissions, which you can view in the dashboard or receive by email or webhook. Server-side code runs as Netlify Functions. Plans are credit-based, and on the Free plan all projects pause once the month’s credits are used up, until the next cycle or an upgrade.
Characteristics
- Deploy Previews for pull and merge requests, plus a permanent link for each deploy
- Netlify Drawer for comments, screenshots and video on previews
- Netlify Forms collects submissions from plain HTML forms, with email or webhook notifications
- Netlify Functions for server-side code
- Password protection and noindex for previews
