🔥 It's probably common knowledge that Netlify makes deployment incredibly simple- you can connect a repo, pick a build command and 🚀

or just drop a folder in and you're done!

...but here are some other things you might not know about our deploys that are very special 🧵

Netlify has a concept of "atomic" deploys- which means a few things:

- You can preview a deploy when you've or someone else has just put in a PR

- You can roll back to ANY previous state, with one click, in milliseconds

- You always know what state your cache is in!
Netlify allows you to cancel a deploy- did you just put in a change, merge it and then realize you've made a terrible mistake? I've never done that. 😬 er...

No worries. You can cancel that deploy with the click of a button.
You can lock a deploy. Let's say you get everything ready for a big release, code review and tests are complete, it's all ready.

You can lock a deploy in a state to get ready for a major release, so that you know exactly what you're releasing and sleep well the night before. 😴
You can even get notifications about locked deploys via email, outgoing webhook, or Slack. Netlify can notify you when a deploy is either locked or unlocked.
You can skip deploys! Let's say you have a bunch of dependabot changes and you want to merge them without redeploying the site multiple times.

You can add [skip ci] or [skip netlify] to the most recent commit message, and it will apply to all other commits in the push.
You can download a deploy!

Let's say you were curious about what your site looked like 4 years ago. Aside from the fact that you can actually just redeploy that version of the site since it's atomic, you can also download that version in time, and revisit your older approach!
⭐️The last one is my fave- you can use different branch deploys for split testing! ⭐️

You don't have to incur heavy JS costs of A/B testing frameworks. You can send traffic to different versions of your site, and add google analytics to the different branches too :)
That's it! I hope this has been helpful. For more information you can visit our docs:

So we had to develop technologies like this to barely manage control over limited areas in Iraq's few urban centers. Only ~8 in 100 Iraqi adults owns a personal vehicle. That rate is > 1 car/adult in America yet I have never seen any doctrine paper or work of fiction address this


We've seen and struggled in civil conflicts with instant, local, universal, distributed communications (cell phone era, basically every conflict since 2000). We've seen and struggled in conflicts with instant, global, universal distributed communications (everything since 2011).

The world's most overfunded military and glow in the dark agencies struggle and largely fail to contain conflicts where fhe vast, vast majority of people are locked into a ~5mi radius of their home.

How can they possibly contain a conflict in a nation with universal car ownership and the most developed road network in the world? The average car can travel over 400 miles on one tank of gas, how can you contain the potential of that kind of mobility?

I think that's partially why the system was so freaked out by 1/6. Yes, most of it is histrionics but you don't decide to indefinitely turn your capital into the Baghdad Green Zone with fortifications and 25k troops over histrionics alone.
