Cloudflare Pages
Build and deploy fast, collaborative JAMstack websites with effortless Git integration on Cloudflare's edge network.
Overview
Cloudflare Pages is a powerful JAMstack platform designed to simplify the deployment and management of modern web applications. It allows frontend developers to connect their GitHub or GitLab repositories, and with every `git push`, Cloudflare Pages automatically builds and deploys the site. This deep integration streamlines the development workflow, eliminating the need for manual configuration of build systems or deployment environments. The platform leverages Cloudflare's extensive global edge network, ensuring that websites are delivered with unmatched speed and performance to users worldwide. Beyond static content, Cloudflare Pages seamlessly integrates with Cloudflare Workers, enabling developers to add dynamic functionality and serverless logic directly at the edge. It also offers advanced collaboration features, including unlimited free seats, automatic preview deployments for every commit, and built-in privacy-first web analytics, making it an ideal solution for teams looking to build, deploy, and iterate on web projects efficiently.
