Summary

Netlify has reached a milestone of over one million developers and businesses signing up for its platform, marking five years since its public launch. The Jamstack web architecture, pioneered by Netlify, has taken off, with an estimated 12% of the internet population visiting sites built on it every month. The evolution of the web and the rise of the Jamstack can be attributed to key drivers such as Git, Continuous Integration/Continuous Development, Site generators, expanding browser capabilities, and the API economy. Netlify's platform has enabled a simpler, faster, and more secure way to build the web, empowering developers to deliver high-performance applications with minimal infrastructure management. As the industry looks to the future, Netlify aims to drive innovation by building workflows and tools that enable seamless collaboration, vendor-agnostic frameworks, and easy operation of complex backend infrastructure projects.
