Contentful vs. Netlify Platform

Coming from WordPress, Contentful feels like content management as it should be. There's no clutter to get rid of, you can simply start building from scratch, and the end product is perfectly tailored to your or your clients needs.

Any frontend hosting solution is just great. It's also available for users in China to access. I don't know if this will be a permanent fixture as it's more dependent on China, but our project requires access from China, and Vercel is not accessible there. Netlify is hugely CI-friendly, so I would also recommend it to anyone with a solid CI/CD workflow.

• Contentful provides organized, flexible data models with support for a variety of data types and content editors (e.g. WYSIWYGs, form fields, raw text areas).
• Contentful has great built-in versioning features with history and draft states so it's easy to make updates and revert when needed.
• Contentful has an intuitive user interface and good support for multiple spaces (which can be helpful for companies that need separate projects for dev/staging/production).

• Hosting multiple websites and having multiple projects
• Updating the site by directly connecting to Github repository as new code is pushed
• Temporary deployment to show preview on GitHub pull requests

• Preview of changes prior to publishing
• The ability to use a spell check plug-in when working on content (it doesn't work well with Grammarly)

Netlify is extremely user friendly while having several notable features including, but not limited to: - Managing deploys - Form integration - Domain management - Use of plugins From a user standpoint, they have made it incredibly easy to manage and review our websites deployment processes while incorporating the above optional features

Contentful was affordable and much simpler than the Java based systems and preferred over a PHP solution

To me, Netlify is the gold standard for static web hosting, but each alternative has specific situations where it might fit better. If building a Next.js site, then Vercel is the easiest solution for hosting. For Jekyll, GitHub Pages might make more sense. Other than that, I would turn to Netlify as my first choice for any static site hosting.

• There was no negative impact as such.
• Positive impact is increase in sales.
• More work is delivered due to reusability and other features within a time and less manual effort.

Incentivized

• Netlify Platform has reduced our cost of additional server capabilities for PoC projects
• Netlify Platform has simplified CI CD pipelines for small standalone applications, thereby improving developer productivity
• Junior developers mainly working on Netlify Platform are often unable to get a low level understanding of server configuration, which is a drawback
