Netlify is improving its developer workflows by allowing users to deploy sites and applications using AWS CloudFormation as a custom resource. This enables users of AWS CloudFormation, SAM, and the Serverless framework to deploy Netlify sites from their existing workflows within the AWS ecosystem. The deployment process involves defining the site settings in the CloudFormation template, including the Netlify token, GitHub token, repository URL, branch, directory, command, allowed branches, and environment variables. This infrastructure as code approach removes manual setup steps, reduces human error, and makes multi-stage and multi-region deployments easier. It also enables integration testing, repeatable, auditable, automated deployments, and spinning up and down different versions of the site. The new feature allows users to deploy Netlify sites as part of their existing AWS infrastructure, leveraging some of the power features of Netlify alongside their existing AWS resources.
