Summary

Preview Servers are now available to everyone on Netlify, providing a cloud-hosted development environment that enables real-time collaboration and iteration. This feature eliminates the bottleneck of waiting for rebuilds and allows teams to see changes immediately, improving their workflow efficiency. With Preview Servers, developers can set up a self-service model, freeing them to focus on core development instead of facilitating previews or struggling through slow review processes. The service is available with every Netlify plan at no additional cost, and users can add more servers as needed on paid plans. Preview Servers unlock new possibilities for workflows that require instant visual feedback, such as AI-powered development workflows, design tool integration, long-running development tasks, collaborative development, and educational platforms. The Preview Servers API is now available in private beta, allowing developers to create and manage these environments within their apps.
