What you give up either way
- Agent Runners (AI agents integrated into dashboard)
- AI Gateway (managed model routing / unified model billing)
- Managed Netlify Database and Blob store primitives
- Built-in Image CDN with on-demand transforms integrated into platform
- Usage credit billing model and integrated analytics/observability UI (30-day retention on Pro shown in docs)
An open-source project doing the core job proves a replacement is possible. It does not prove it matches Netlify, and it does not prove anyone has run it for a month. How we decide.
