Netlify Core overview
Netlify Core is a frontend cloud solution that empowers developers to build and deploy future-proof, composable web experiences that work with modern frameworks. It offers a suite of features to build, test, and deploy at scale using our global network.
# Get started
# Configure
Git
Use Git with Netlify for continuous deployment. When you push changes to your site’s Git repository, Netlify detects your changes and triggers automated deploys.
Builds
Configure and manage your builds on Netlify. Learn how to set up monorepos, manage dependencies, troubleshoot common build issues, and more.
Domains & DNS
Use custom domains registered through Netlify or elsewhere. Leverage Netlify DNS for advanced subdomain automation and deployment features and standard DNS management.
HTTPS (SSL/TLS)
Take advantage of free automatic HTTPS. Let Netlify manage and renew your TLS certificate, or bring your own custom certificate.
# Develop
Functions
Use serverless functions to run on-demand, server-side code without having to run a dedicated server.
Edge Functions
Use Edge Functions to build fast, personalized web experiences leveraging an open runtime standard at the network edge
Redirects & headers
Manage traffic to and from your site using redirects, rewrites, and proxies. Learn how to define custom headers for your site.
Environment variables
Use environment variables to configure your site’s build and functionality. Learn how to declare and use environment variables, their limits, and overrides.
Blobs
Store and retrieve unstructured data. Use blob storage as a simple key/value store or basic database.
Image CDN
Use Netlify Image CDN to optimize and transform images on demand without impacting build times.
Forms
Use built-in form handling to simplify adding and managing forms for your project. No need to make an API call or include extra form handling code.
Netlify CLI
