All the collection and curation happens in the backend (on my laptop), get jinja to generate the data into a html and in a single command goes live! This product has been a life saver. No monitoring, cacheing, or any other headache.
Virtual hi-fi to the people who make Netlify.
Today, we use firebase hosting which is significantly cheaper and comes with its own CDN and free Google SSL. But I don't get CI from my git repo - I have to compile and push. Which I personally prefer.
But kudos to Netlify - I hope they realise that the value is not in CDN or CI or ssl certificates . But rather in building a CMS for static websites.

Is there anything like this for netlify? Or any benchmarks on how they generally perform vs. fastly and cloudflare?

The model of charging per site was removed in [4], the "low tier" $9 per site was also removed, maybe it was not differentiated enough from the free version to be worth the effort. It also seems they introduced "paying per user" in between [3] and [4], maybe that was a form of substitute for the removal of the site limit.
Disclosure: I am a founder of a cloud hosting startup called Sourcevoid, that's in part why I think looking at pricing and packaging of hosting services is interesting, but thought others might like seeing the links above as well.

To be fair, 14.4MB of that is images (I don't know why some of them are that large, however). Does their offering specifically have something related to image optimization / scaling (I'm unfamiliar with Netlify)?
disclaimer: I work for netlify. We do have image optimization built-in but it won't change images' size (in case you link externally - we don't want to move your cheese) or do anything lossy. So - we have not resized and chosen optimal formats for those images and we are working on doing it right now :)

They're working on that https://www.netlifycms.org

oh nice! thats a welcome change - seems like last time I looked wasnt even 6 months ago and it was not there yet - branch deploys would be one of my exact use cases for sure
disclaimer: i work at Netlify. ping us in support and I can talk you through the setup w/the private repo (and branch deploys can be simulated with a few netlify sites attached to the same repo - no additional cost for additional sites on any plan)

I don't need my doctor to be thin when he's telling me I need to lose fat, though. I host my blog with their service, I get thousands of visitors a day and it's always extremely fast. I love the simple deployment and the features they give me, and I evangelize their service to everyone. Try it out, it's fantastic, despite the large landing page.
I absolutely, obviously, would trust a thin doctor telling me to lose weight over a fat one telling me almost anything.
