Deciding between SSG, Edge Functions, and Serverless Functions on Netlify is a balance of latency and data freshness. This guide compares the three strategies to help you optimize TTFB.
Learn how to implement ephemeral environments using Netlify Deploy Previews to eliminate the 'merge-and-pray' bottleneck and secure your build pipeline.
Netlify's immutable, content-addressed deploys make rollback an atomic pointer swap instead of a rebuild. Here's how to use that as your first incident response — and where it stops helping.
On-demand Builders let a Netlify function run once and serve cached responses on repeat requests, giving ISR-like behavior without full site rebuilds.
When a branch associated with a Netlify site is removed from the repository, the site’s branch deploy preview continues to exist until its built‑in expiration timer elapses. The documentation describes automatic preview creation and configurable lifetime, but does not specify whether deleting the branch triggers an immediate cancellation or cleanup of the pr
Goal Paginate through all users of a Netlify site using the Identity Admin API endpoint /api/v1/sites/:site_id/users with page and per_page parameters. Constraints and uncertainty The documentation does not state an explicit upper limit for per_page ; empirical tests suggest a silent cap at 100. It is unclear whether a token with only the identity scope (non
A concise architecture note for Netlify Functions: requirements, minimal file‑based design, trust boundaries, operational checks, failure modes, and when to redesign.
Goal Determine whether environment variables set or modified by Netlify Build Plugins are available in the runtime environment of Deploy Previews, and identify any performance bottlenecks introduced by plugin execution. Constraints & Uncertainty Plugin execution is sequential; only the build phase logs provide exact timing. Deploy Previews inherit enviro
Goal Plan a zero‑downtime migration for a small application moving to Netlify, ensuring that static assets, preview environments, and database schema changes coexist without service interruption. Key Constraints & Uncertainties Atomic deploys swap in a fully built build only after successful completion, but they do not manage stateful database changes. S
