** Netlify is releasing Functions, Identity and Forms out of beta, making it easier for developers to deploy serverless AWS Lambda functions, manage user authentication and form submissions without setting up servers or managing multiple accounts. With these components, developers can now have both a highly-performant static site and a flexible dynamic architecture without the hassle of managing infrastructure. The release aims to simplify the process of connecting microservices, API gateways, serverless functions, and servers, making it easier for teams to build projects on the JAMstack.
