The development workflow provided by Netlify is designed to support modern web applications, including those using serverless functions. This allows for atomic and immutable deploys, enabling site owners to easily revert changes and benefit from more manageable configurations. The Netlify Functions offering aims to provide a seamless integration with the rest of the platform and development workflow, allowing developers to write code, push it, and have it deployed without requiring zero configuration. The service provides flexible deployment options, boundless function deploys, and unified development workflows, making it easy for developers to work with serverless functions in their projects.
