Netlify has introduced a new feature called Build Plugins, which allows tech partners to create custom plugins that can be integrated into the developer workflow. This enables services like Algolia, Nimbella, and Snyk to seamlessly integrate their offerings directly into Netlify's build process, making it easier for developers to use these services in their projects. The plugins directory has grown to include over 40 unique plugins, ranging from security checks to search crawlers and deployment tools. These plugins can be used by developers to extend the capabilities of Netlify, whether it's developing a more dynamic web application or keeping sites safe and secure. With the introduction of Build Plugins, Netlify is providing an opportunity for tech partners to create custom integrations that can help teams streamline their development workflow.
