Netlify Functions

A modern, scalable backend built into every Netlify account. No setup, servers, or ops required.

Full-powered sites—no servers required

Meet the modern backend. Infinitely scalable. Genuinely simple.

Serverless made painless

Write JavaScript or Go APIs to perform just about any backend task, scaling automatically as demand increases. Setting up AWS Lambdas on your own can be fairly complex—tutorials average 20 steps! With Netlify, simply set a folder and drop in your functions. Everything else is automatic.

How Netlify Functions work

Write simple functions that automatically become APIs.

Netlify deploys the functions you write as full API endpoints and will even run them automatically in response to events (like a form submission or a user login). Functions receive request context or event data, and return data back to your frontend.

Learn more in the docs

. handler = async ( event , context ) => { return { statusCode : 200 , body : “ We are now split testing! ” }; }

Give backend superpowers to your frontend code

Functions can respond to events, sanitize user input, and know who’s logged in.

Automated triggers

Automatically trigger any function to run when a new deploy succeeds, a user authenticates, or a new form submission arrives.

See all available events

Third-party APIs

Set up functions to check and sanitize user data before sending on to third-party APIs. Or use functions to process API responses and combine API services in new and exciting ways.

Check out an example

User authentication

Instead of managing sessions on a server, use JavaScript Web Tokens to handle identity right in the browser, passing session tokens directly to your serverless functions.

Less setup, more productivity

Functions as a Service (FaaS) providers like AWS handle some of the infrastructure hassle; Netlify takes the final step to bring functions directly to your workflow.

Decoupled but not divided

Frontend code & backend code in one powerful workflow.

Develop modularly. Deploy collectively

Atomically deploy your sites and apps, pushing frontend code and backend functions together, as a unit, without even requiring a maintenance window.

Stage, preview, and rollback

Netlify Functions share all of Netlify’s beloved workflow features. Preview every commit with Deploy Preview links. Rollback when needed by simply clicking a prior deployment.

Run A/B testing and phased rollouts Beta

Deploy and test multiple branches, and even control which users see which version. Plan full experiments and rolling upgrades that include both front and backend code changes. A/B test not just a button color, but an entire user workflow.
