Building code agents overview
If you’re building code agents, assistants, or other AI tools, you can give your customers and agents a better experience and more capabilities by working with Netlify.
# Benefits of deploying to Netlify
The benefits of deploying to Netlify include:
- Zero friction deployments that don’t require users to have Netlify accounts to start
- Global CDN (content delivery network) so projects stay fast on our infrastructure
- Custom domain support
- Secret scanning management
- Enterprise-grade security
If you become an official AI partner, we can also offer:
- Massive rate limits (we don’t slow you down when growth hits).
- Help from our best-in-class support for fraud and abuse detection and mitigation.
- Access to engineering support focused on supporting partners leveraging Netlify to deploy websites.
- Co-marketing to celebrate and showcase your offerings.
# Designed for agentic workflows
Netlify is designed to support agentic workflows, which means you can give your customers and agents more capabilities by working with Netlify.
# API-first architecture
Netlify’s API-first approach allows AI tools to programmatically create, configure, and deploy sites without friction. While most platforms were built primarily for human workflows, Netlify’s architecture naturally accommodates both human developers and AI agents.
This architecture translates to the following:
- AI agents can create new sites with unique configurations in seconds
- Build settings, environment variables, and domain rules can be programmatically defined
- Deployment build logs can be fed back to AI systems to improve future builds
For help with building AI tools, agents, and agentic workflows, check out our docs on APIs for code agents.
# Simplified rapid scaling
Netlify is also designed to simplify rapid scaling. For example, when Bolt needed to scale from hundreds to millions of deployments, our infrastructure handled the growth without requiring complex DevOps expertise.
Our edge network automatically:
- Scales to handle traffic spikes without intervention
- Delivers content from 100+ global points of presence
- Responds in under 50ms to users worldwide
- Manages billions of requests with reliable performance
