Summary

Netlify has introduced Netlify Connect, a solution for unifying all data from any content source, addressing the challenges faced by Enterprises with multiple backend content sources. The journey began in 2014 when Netlify co-founders saw an opportunity to revolutionize web development by splitting the frontend and backend stack. Over the past 9 years, the Jamstack approach has attracted over 4 million developers who have built over 33M+ websites. However, many Enterprises struggle to modernize their monolithic architecture, leading to high overhead and migration costs. Netlify Connect combines the power of Gatsby's data unification solution with its platform, providing a single orchestration layer that addresses these needs. It seamlessly integrates with popular content and commerce systems using a GraphQL API, enabling no-code integrations and unified content, cached data on Netlify Edge, and consolidated workflow benefits.
