How to use it well

Netlify is a useful option for developers deploying small websites and application experiments. Connect a repository and verify its build output in a preview before attaching a custom domain. Start with a small, representative task so you can check the results before extending the setup.

Review which actions consume credits and reduce unnecessary production deploys when working within the monthly Free allowance. Consider the practical trade-off: free usage has a hard credit limit.
