Netlify Has a Free JAMstack Platform With Serverless Functions and Forms

Netlify pioneered the JAMstack movement. It deploys static sites and serverless functions with CI/CD, forms, identity, and more — all free.

Free Tier

  • 100GB bandwidth/month
  • 300 build minutes/month
  • 125K serverless function invocations
  • 100 form submissions/month
  • Identity — 1000 active users
  • Large media — Git LFS support
  • Split testing — A/B test branches

Deploy

npm i -g netlify-cli
netlify deploy --prod
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Serverless Functions

// netlify/functions/hello.js
export default async (req, context) => {
  return new Response(JSON.stringify({ message: 'Hello' }));
};
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Built-in Forms

<form name="contact" netlify>
  <input name="email" type="email" />
  <textarea name="message"></textarea>
  <button type="submit">Send</button>
</form>
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

No backend needed — Netlify handles form submissions.
