From opening our Build layer to 3rd party plugins, to advancing serverless functions, to driving innovation and personalization at the Edge, we've made it possible to run complex and dynamic web projects on the Jamstack with the developer experience you expect from Netlify.
In May, we announced the GA of Build Plugins – this allows you to customize your build process and automate build tasks with one click from the UI. Both the developer community and technology partners like Algolia, Nimbella, and Snyk have helped advance this ecosystem in the time since launch.
Announced earlier this month, the Next-on-Netlify build plugin utilizes Netlify Functions for server-side rendering. Install it to begin using the features of Next.js that you know and love that typically only work on apps running a Node server. Add the Next.js Netlify Plugin here.
Full-stack Jamstack: Background Functions released in Beta for our Pro plan (and higher) customers allow you to set up serverless functions that can run asynchronously for up to 15 minutes. This increases performance immensely by offloading long-running functions, processing them behind-the-scenes.
Earlier in 2020 we were delighted to announce that assets delivered via Netlify Edge are now automatically compressed with Brotli encoding. No action needed, Netlify Edge is already encoding and caching suitable assets with Brotli, increasing performance for all.
For years, web and creative agencies have been utilizing the Jamstack architecture. Aligned with our mission and vision of advancing the web together, we were very excited to launch an official Netlify Partner Program that provides resources, official partnerships, and more to these agencies.
Product and Engineering worked hard towards launching Netlify's Team Overview, a central dashboard in the Netlify App interface that surfaces the most important information about your Team and the Sites and projects they're all working on. The team workflow that makes teamwork flow.
During this year's second Jamstack Conf Virtual, we announced early access to Edge Handlers. Edge Handlers are the first solution of its kind to combine edge compute with a Git-based workflow, making it easy for frontend developers to customize the network edge for a faster, more engaging web experience.
Furthering improvements for the many enterprises on Netlify, we announced Netlify's support for self-hosted instances of GitHub and GitLab. This release unlocks new performance, collaboration, and workflow benefits of the Jamstack for organizations at every scale.
Last, yet certainly not least was the announcement of our Technology Partners directory – a resource available to all that showcases enterprise technology vendors partnered with Netlify. Algolia, Auth0, Contentful, GraphCMS, Prismic, Sentry, and more are amongst those already working with Netlify – see all tech partners.
Despite some obvious blockers and challenges that we've all faced this year, we're proud of what our team has accomplished. We are more focused than ever on our mission of empowering you to build, launch, and ship your best web projects.
Stay safe and well in the New Year, and stay connected by using the #Netlify and #Jamstack hashtags on twitter and via the Netlify Community.

Read this CSS Tricks post and learn how to create dynamic web applications, like Virtual Popsicle, with Netlify Functions
Popsicle. Paleta. Ice lolly. Icy pole.

Virtual Popsicle is a fully dynamic website that lets you customize an ice lolly, online. Use a color picker to design your confection, fill out an HTML form, and generate a unique link to share with a friend.
Here's the twist—it's all pre-rendered. That's right! You really can build a dynamic web application with user generated content, and get it done with the Jamstack.
