Netlify integration

What is Netlify?

Netlify is a hosting service for static websites and web applications that runs on a cloud-based platform. It provides features such as serverless functions, a global Content Delivery Network (CDN), and forms handling.

Integrating the service with Buddy allows you to introduce Continuous Integration and Continuous Deployment (CI/CD) practices to your project delivery workflow and focus solely on writing code and developing new features.

You can configure a pipeline in Buddy (both via GUI or with a YAML file) to automate tasks such as deploying your project to Netlify whenever changes are pushed to your Git repository, or managing dependencies with npm install.

The integration also lets you run any commands supported by the Netlify CLI, and e.g. create a new site within the platform and deploy it, as well as parameterize the commands with environment variables.
