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.

Celebrating by letting everyone in our community join a virtual constellation in Netlispace.

Been incredible seeing the waves of new developers coming onboard during the last year as coding agents transform how people build on the web and opens up real web development for a much wider audience.

Thanks for being part of this.

This shows we need to build better approaches to agent interactions that are not at the level of "run a virtual browser", but that encodes much more of the workflows available than raw API's do today.

You choose the behavior that fits your usecase:

Free plan: no accidental bills, but your site may be suspended if you go over the limits. Starter plan: free as long as you stay under the limits, but you'll get billed for overages.

I spotted Little Workshop when I saw https://equinox.space/ on Hacker News and noticed it was running on Netlify. Loved the fluidness, speed and art direction of a game running directly in the browser and working smoothly on my phone.

Immediately thought of them when we started thinking about a 5 million developer celebration and reached out. Love the result :)

We've had a few open source plan since the early days and it's not going anywhere.

2. While I've always favored erring towards keeping people's sites up we are currently working on changing the default behavior to never let free sites incur overages

Our support team has reached out to the user from the thread to let them know they're not getting charged for this.

It's currently our policy to not shut down free sites during traffic spikes that doesn't match attack patterns, but instead forgiving any bills from legitimate mistakes after the fact.

Apologies that this didn't come through in the initial support reply.

Nothing changed in the methodology since last year and as always the survey was run by our data team.

If you scroll past the editorial part of what our team found newsworthy in the data and down to the actual survey data, you'll see clear charts of absolute framework usage and detailed breakdowns on satisfaction for each framework.

The survey is a reflection of what our community responded.

Next is the largest framework in usage and is really will liked by it's users. This is clearly visible in the charts of the survey.

But for the first time we’ve run this survey, Next decreased in usage year over year (from 47% to 46%).

Astro jumped all the way from 11% to 18% with 87% responding they want to use it more.

Eleventy dropped in usage from our respondents from 19% last year to 16% this year.

None of this is an attack on anyone, it’s just data from our survey. The rise of Astro is one of the most newsworthy bits of data from the survey and reflects genuine excitement in the community we’re part of.

We are also building a real, longterm sustainable enterprise business. We're not a non-profit and we're here to create a big lasting company that can keep investing into the future of the web.
