Not seeing any bandwidth, storage or other costs so I wonder what their soft/hard limits are for those things. I see their forms have really low limits for the price 1000 submissions and 1GB file upload limits, 2m functions on the $45 plan [1].

#102I use Netlify for all my static sites and it's been amazing. All I have to do is push and they take care of everything else, I can't understate how much I love the product. If you want to check out a live deployment, my website https://www.stavros.io/ is on Netlify. I especially like how they provide forms, lambdas and very easy testing by just pushing to another git branch. I don't see why anyone would use Github/Gi…
Is it all that different from hosting on S3 or Firebase or GitHub pages?
Funny enough I went from exactly that to gitlab+netlify setup.
You get loads out of the box, HTTPS being the big one.
In case you didn't get the reference, the other comment was the top comment for dropbox when it announced funding. In theory yes you can still roll your own dropbox, but we all have limited resources and dropbox and netlify make things so much easier that it's worth paying them money to do it right on the first try and not worry about maintenance.

Lots of people use Netlify with GitLab as well. Some using our connection to GitLab and some pushing from GitLab's CI to Netlify via CLI.
Any way we could make the connection with Netlify better? Netlify already added support for GitLab https://www.netlify.com/blog/2016/07/13/gitlab-integration-f... Maybe a JAMS template?
Yeah, we integrate pretty deeply already. We do have some new flows that could potentially make the story around publishing to Netlify from GitLab cloud seamless from an authentication standpoint, would be happy to brainstorm!

Can you edit (say Jekyll blogs) on GitHub and them somehow push to Netlify automatically? This is critical for me since I edit using my Android Jekyll-optimized tool Teddy Hyde ( https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.EditorHyde... ).
Have you tried using Github pages for that? Really easy to setup Jekyll blogs there

Ditto!
Netlify is one of those few products that feels like it Just Works(TM) which is rare to find!

Couldn’t agree more. Started with hosting static sites directly on AWS with a combo of S3, CloudFront, Route51, etc. While it worked, Netlify is just so much nicer.
Git push done.
Now I use a combo or netlify plus aws lambda for functionality. Interested to see what they deliver next.

#107Our studio, Marquee (https://www.marquee.studio), has an in-house publishing platform called Proof (https://www.proof.pub) that we started back in 2012 which couples fully customizable editorial tools and content model, a headless CMS, and React/Serverless based SDK to compile static websites specifically for editorial and content marketing teams. An example that was designed by our team and managed through Proof that HN is probably familiar with is The First Round Review (http://firstround.com/review/).
It's a similar approach that Netlify has put together and works great. Can't advocate for it strongly enough.

#108it is like firebase?

Firebase does free certs on custom domains. Publish is a single command.
