Netlify doubled the number of developers who have used their platform this year, and the Jamstack ecosystem is growing equally as fast.

We’re happy to support Netlify as it becomes the next big developer-first success story.
Netlify is a California-based company offering hosting and backend services for apps and websites. It provides web hosting for sites whose files are stored in Git and generated into web content files served via a CDN.
According to estimates, each month, 16% of the Internet population visits a Netlify-powered website. Furthermore, the company has raised $212 million in funding to date.
technology allows developers to connect their code repository of choice, such as GitHub, and add build settings. The provider deploys the website or app across an app delivery network, eliminating the need for finding a host, uploading app support files, and configuring domain settings.
Netlify promotes Jamstack, a web development architecture based on client-side JavaScript code, reusable APIs, and markup content.
Millions of developers, including big names, Adyen, Affirm, AutoDesk, Box, H&R Block, Klépierre, Okta, ServiceNow, Twilio, Unilever and VMware have used the NetlifyJamstack for creating dynamic, scalable, and secure apps. However, they had to build their middleware and workstreams to connect the now decoupled tools and technologies needed for development.
Now, Netlify further expands its platform to serve its customers better. Jamstack will directly deliver a workflow and productivity natively integrating with every significant web framework, API, and developer tool.
For this cause,
has announced the acquisition of OneGraph, a powerful GraphQL platform that simplifies the integration and management of APIs and services that support web apps. In turn, customers will compose apps using the best developer tools on the market even more efficiently.Very proud to share @BessemerVP Growth is leading the $105M Series D in @Netlify at a $2Bn valuation, joining @biilmann, @Chr_Bach, @marcusbragg and the 2M developers in the Netlify community to transform web development and unite the Jamstack ecosystem!https://t.co/cSjk3IbJQP
