Is it all that different from hosting on S3 or Firebase or GitHub pages?
It's as difference from that as Dropbox is from mounting an NFS share on your computer.

Could you elaborate? That would be very helpful, the article doesn't quite detail ...
Basically, if you have a repository with your Jekyll (or whatever) site, just add it to Netlify and that's it. It's served, and will automatically update when you push.

How is it more secure when you're still accessing an API? Wordpress itself might not be the best product but other fully-hosted services are all the same, whether they render the site or just give you an API. A CDN is equally fast when the content is cached, and if you're building the entire site as static pages then it's not really a dynamic site in the first place and can also be done with HTML or markdown in the s…
Good luck getting content editors to commit code to a repo or in markdowns. The contentful + netlify setup is really elegant.
The only 2 advantages of splitting this into separate systems is extra customization (even though hosted solutions are already very flexible) and compiling the entire site into static files. The 2nd seems to be more of a thing for devs to enjoy rather than something that makes a real difference to users, especially when you're already using a CDN.

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

#140Does Netlify support 2FA for paid tiers? Their settings page is really clear about some features being available in certain plans (and btw I love this, it's really clear and it's not very aggressive of an upsell / not obnoxious), but there is no such callout for 2FA. This is one critical feature that github pages has over Netlify. Github's 2FA is really nice, actually; you can add multiple U2F keys and you can also u…
I work for netlify. We support 2FA on any tier, since you can auth via git provider and require 2FA there. We presently don't support REQUIRED 2FA (you can also set a password) under the enterprise account level, since that's what enables SSO using a SAML-based identity provider and enforcing those limits there.
A core part of Netlify's offering (any SaaS's offering really) is some kind of guarantee that attackers can't get in and vandalize users' sites. When you delegate authentication to an identity provider (whether that's through OAuth2/OIDC or SAML), you're delegating that core feature to a third party. You've assuredly gone through the due diligence of asking them how they manage their own security and authentication, but it's still something that you don't control.
Facebook, one of the most valuable public companies in the world, recently reported a breach where they had to reset any "log in with Facebook" authentications for millions of users. Github has roughly two orders of magnitude fewer employees than Facebook.
Anyway in case you have an internal feature request for U2F on "email" logins, please consider this an external "+1" for it.
