Netlify launches Servers: long-lived WebSocket servers in the same deploy as your site
thisiskp_ · x · 2026-11-11
Netlify has launched Netlify Servers (Early Access): you can now run long-lived servers with WebSockets right next to everything else you build on Netlify — one project, one deploy.
The poster explains why it matters: real-time features (Slack-style chat, Figma-style cursors, live scores) previously required a second host, a separate WebSocket service, and glue between them. Now it's all in one project. Use cases include multiplayer games, live dashboards, shared docs, and bots.
