What Netlify is
Netlify invented the git-push-to-CDN workflow and still has one of the best build pipelines in the category, with 25,000 build minutes on Pro and a mature plugin ecosystem. Its Next.js runtime covers ISR, middleware and image optimisation through a maintained adapter. The problem is the pricing shape: overage bandwidth is sold in $55 blocks of 100 GB, which is where the platform's reputation for shock invoices comes from.

A hobby-tier site absorbed a large volumetric attack and the account was invoiced roughly $104,000 in bandwidth overage. Netlify waived the bill and improved its free-tier protections, but the episode is why overage behaviour is the killer field on this page — the pricing shape that produced it, $55 per additional 100 GB, is unchanged.
