Netlify Lambda Functions let you deploy serverless Lambda functions without an AWS account. Your serverless functions are version-controlled, built, and deployed along with the rest of your Netlify site, and Netlify automatically handles service discovery through their built-in API gateway.

Here at Anant, I have been using Netlify for the better part of the last 2 years or so. It has allowed us to get projects up and running fast and efficiently without much hassle on our end. To my surprise, I don’t hear or see much buzz about Netlify among the companies and professionals I interact with on a daily basis. In this blog post, I’m going to go over the Netlify features I find essential in my day to day routine. I feel like it would be greatly beneficial towards small and big companies alike.
