Description
I launched Netlify with a Show HN more than 11 years today, for humans.Today we're launching our Agent first version of Netlify.Super early days for this, but I expect it to become as important as our original launch over time.It's as hard to perfect these flows as it was to perfect some of the initial human DX flows, since the agents are non-deterministic and keeps changing and evolving, and we'll have more to show soon on our eval tooling for this.Try it out with an agent, and we would love feedback on what works and what doesn't as we keep iterating on making Netlify better for our new agent friends.

Could you build this?
No While wrapping CLI tools and documentation is easy, the core product relies on Netlify's massive underlying hosting, edge serverless infrastructure, and global CDN.
What it would actually take: Building a competitor requires multi-tenant container execution, dynamic DNS resolution, TLS termination, edge routing/CDN infrastructure, and robust auth token exchange flows. The stack would involve Anycast networking, Kubernetes/Firecracker sandboxes for builds, and distributed edge proxies (e.g., Envoy or Cloudflare Workers). It requires deep cloud infrastructure and systems engineering expertise.
