Netlify, a platform for building dynamic web content, including web apps, has raised $105 million in venture capital.
Netlify [fundamentally moves] away from monolithic web apps to a decoupled architecture that separates the frontend user interface from the backend business logic [and is] more open and accessible for developers. If you’re a company and you want to reach users, your main channel is online. 2020 and the pandemic accelerated that a lot as companies realized they needed to build differentiated user experiences on the web. That’s where Netlify has seen a lot of interest from businesses who are competing to deliver the most performant and personalized web experiences, whether that’s an ecommerce site, software-as-a-service application, or marketing campaign.
