In 2019 we launched Netlify Functions. In 2023, Functions 2.0 rebuilt the whole experience around Developer Experience.
Today we're taking it to the next frontier: Agent Experience.
Here's what shipped. 🧵
This next @Netlify#HotARSummer project was inspired by @thisiskp_ , my very first client and one of the people who taught me the most about showing up online with generosity.
I’ve watched him rally behind founders who are brave enough to build in public even when the thing
The Agent Experience pitch for the new Netlify Functions, in practice:
"Set this function's region to Frankfurt."
"Give this one 2 GB of memory."
"Subscribe this to the userLogin event."
Your agent can do all of it, because the config is typed and discoverable in code. No magic
I joined @jlengstorf's Greenfield Games show with Dana Lawson and @jherr to compete with 2 other teams, building Notion in 6 hours.

Our team built everything with @Netlify Agent Runners.
How did we fare?

We built and shipped at Build with Netlify: Barcelona. 🚀
Builders in a room, AI agents deploying live sites, and open hack time to turn ideas into working apps.
Thank you to @hackbarna and Happy Operators, and to everyone who came to build.
You can now configure Netlify Functions compute per function, in code.
Region: run close to your users or your data.
Memory: up to 4 GB.
CPU: up to 2 vCPU.
Set it in config, validate it in a deploy preview, then ship.
Claude Fable 5 is live again in Netlify AI Gateway.
Use the @AnthropicAI SDK directly in your Netlify Functions. No API keys, no auth setup, no config. The Gateway handles it all automatically.
The summer isn't over yet. ☀️
We're taking the incredible momentum from June's #HotAppSummer and rolling it straight into July with a slight twist. 😏
Introducing #HotARsummer 🤖
Same energy, same daily streak.
But this time, there's one rule: ship something with @Netlify
3/ How it works:
🛠️ Build an app powered by Agent Runners
📥 Submit it on the site so it lands on the showcase wall 🏷️ Tag @Netlify and use #HotARsummer
We'll promote and amplify your builds as they roll in.
4/ Every Friday, we review the most impressive builds of the week and hand out 3,000 in Netlify credits. 💸
Stay tuned to our socials to see who's getting amplified.
Thirty days. Thirty apps. Let's build. 🚀

Netlify Functions now support the fetchable module interface natively.
Code written for Deno, Bun, Hono, or Nitro runs on Netlify with minimal changes. And one module can handle web requests and platform events together: a fetch handler plus named event handlers on the same
