Question 2

What did you think of our service during the time you used it? Provide either some constructive criticism or some points that impressed you. Be honest! "It sucked" isn’t a wrong answer unless you don’t elaborate and provide some constructive criticism 🙂

I have always been impressed with the Netlify service. In the case of this exercise, a couple things stood out.

Netlify has a plugin for Next.js that takes guess work out of building and deploying a site and creating and managing the cache in the build. The first build took 30 seconds and the next build of the site took 12 seconds. Total deploy time decreased a whole minute to 3 minutes total.

One other thing that keeps getting better are the application errors during deploys. In this specific case, "Failed Due to Plugin Error" was displayed on the deploy summary that failed 🔥. It was really nice to see that and not have to go dig for the error right way.
