When serving content on the web, using a secured hosting solution is crucial to protect against compromise and attack, regardless of project size or budget. A securely designed architecture can reduce risk and friction for developers, from hobbyists to large brands. Netlify's approach simplifies security by removing vulnerable infrastructure, utilizing pre-generating assets in advance, and deploying them through a read-only content delivery network (CDN). This Jamstack model abstracts away the need for an active application server, reducing the burden of securing it and minimizing risk. Serverless runtimes, such as Netlify Functions, expand on this concept by enabling developers to build and deploy APIs, service layers, and logic without introducing a server, thereby avoiding added complexity and security responsibilities.
