Netlify Server launches long-running backends

ANNOUNCEMENTPRODUCTX

Netlify Server brings long-running Node.js backends to Netlify in Early Access, supporting WebSockets, in-memory state, streaming, and persistent agent workflows. Developers can deploy servers alongside their frontend, database, and previews without managing infrastructure.

// ANALYSIS

Netlify is acknowledging that serverless functions are a poor fit for real-time apps and long-running AI agents, while betting its deployment workflow is the real differentiator.

  • –Supports WebSockets, Server-Sent Events, connection pools, caches, and warm SDK clients.
  • –Deploy previews can include the backend and database, simplifying full-stack iteration for AI-generated apps.
  • –Early Access limits servers to three instances, or one on Free and Personal plans, with scale-to-zero behavior.
  • –Future pricing will meter reserved memory and active CPU time, making cost modeling essential for persistent workloads.
  • –Full-stack frameworks such as Next.js and Astro are not yet supported directly and still run through functions.
