The general availability of Netlify Build Plugins has led to a significant increase in activity from the community and partners, who are installing plugins and creating their own to share with others. This feature allows users to customize their build process and automate tasks, such as caching files, checking for broken links, and triggering testing, with one-click from the UI. The most popular plugins include Cypress, Speedcurve, and Sentry, among others, which can be accessed through a comprehensive catalog available in the Netlify UI. Additionally, users can create their own Build Plugins to share with their team or the community.
