Netlify

Not sure if Build with Netlify: London is for you? Here's the short list: → Product builders and founders → Bootstrappers and hobbyists → Vibe coders and anyone curious about building with AI If you've got an idea and a laptop, you've got everything you need. We'll cover the workshop, the hack time, the credits, and the snacks. Your host for the night is Ash Wesley, who just shipped 31 products in 30 days with Netlify. 🗓 Wednesday, 29 July · 18:00–21:00 BST 📍 Ramen Space, Dalston Link to register in the comments 👇

Gemini 3.6 Flash and Gemini 3.5 Flash-Lite are now available through Netlify AI Gateway and Agent Runners. What that means in practice: you can use the Google GenAI SDK directly in your Netlify Functions with no API keys to manage and no auth to configure. The Gateway handles it, and you get Netlify's caching, rate limiting, and authentication infrastructure automatically. Both models work across all Function types and Agent Runners.

The Next.js team has disclosed nine security vulnerabilities spanning SSRF, a middleware authorization bypass, denial of service, and cache confusion. All are patched in Next.js 15.5.21 and 16.2.11. If you're running Next.js on Netlify, the fix is simple: upgrade to a patched version and redeploy. A few things worth knowing: Netlify's architecture means three of these don't affect Netlify-hosted sites at all, including the Image Optimizer DoS (handled by Netlify Image CDN) and the Edge runtime memory exhaustion. Still on Next.js 13 or 14? Those minors won't receive patches, so you'll need to move to a patched 15.x or 16.x release. Don't forget deploy previews and branch deploys. Older ones can stay publicly available and vulnerable until deleted. Full per-vulnerability breakdown of Netlify impact: https://lnkd.in/gQA2YVxx

Lock-in is the default in most AI build tools. We'd rather bet on the opposite. Proud to sponsor #BuildtoKeep on July 28: build fast, then prove you own what you made by moving it across tools. Free to enter, with real prizes, and a challenge worth taking. Bring an idea! 💡

Another week of #HotARsummer down, another three winners crowned ☀️ This week's three standout builds: 🥇 Netlify Readiness Check by Abdallah Ait Bouhou Upload a project ZIP to find opportunities to use Netlify Forms, Functions, Edge Functions, redirects, Image CDN, and more. Includes ready-to-copy Agent Runner prompts. Check it out here: https://lnkd.in/eMcGQRKs 🥈 Wondertale by David Dizon. Ask any question. Get a true answer, wrapped in a story too good to forget. Try it here: https://lnkd.in/eMVJdWSg 🥉 Biblical Intelligence Explorer by Jacqueline Jones. The whole counsel of Scripture, connected as one intelligence. Explore here: https://lnkd.in/e8Y7bwXr Congratulations to all three on winning 3,000 credits each! 🎉 But let's be real...if you built and shipped an app and shared your work in public this week, you already won. The real prize is the reps you're putting in. Want your build in next week's roundup? Keep creating, share it in public, and tag us at Netlify!

Your docs have two audiences now: developers and the AI agents working alongside them. Two independent agent-readiness audits (Fern's Agent Score and Mintlify's) just graded docs.netlify.com at 97/100 (Grade A). These tools run dozens of automated checks on the things agents actually need: markdown URLs for every page, content negotiation, llms.txt coverage, server-rendered content, no auth walls. This didn't happen by accident. Our docs team has been deliberately engineering for agent experience (AX) using the open agent-friendly docs spec, the same framework both scoring tools are built on. If you're building with AI agents on Netlify, the docs are ready for them. And if you're curious how your own docs stack up, both tools are free to run.

Our Chief Customer Officer isn't a developer. He still built two AI agents, and one closed a deal while it was still in beta. Richard Terry-Lloyd joined Stack this week to break down exactly how. And now it's your turn! Build an agent, ship it, and share it on LinkedIn tagging Netlify and Stack. The first 25 qualifying entries get 3,000 Netlify credits + 50% off a 6-month Stack membership. Go ship something 🚀

Comparing frontier AI models usually means multiple provider accounts, API keys, and bills. On Netlify, you can switch between leading models – Fable, GPT 5.6, and more – from a single account with one bill. And with the new Pro tiers offering up to 20,000 included credits per month (with rollover on the higher tiers), there's more room to experiment without watching the meter. https://lnkd.in/g_6sD_wQ

The best product feedback doesn’t always come from a form or a forum. It comes from watching people build. Tania Chakraborty and Karthik Puvvada share why in-person workshops are so valuable: you don’t just hear what people think, you see where they hesitate, what excites them, and the context behind their feedback. That kind of insight helps build better developer tools.

Dana Lawson is one of the best speakers around. Yep, we're biased. https://lnkd.in/p/gU-qU8dC.
