Today, Netlify and Windsurf, formerly Codeium, are introducing the first AI-powered, IDE-native deployment integration. You can now go from your first AI prompt to a live, production-ready URL, all without leaving your editor. Just build, deploy, and share directly from Windsurf. No extra configuration needed.
Windsurf is an editor powered by AI that can both collaborate with you like a copilot and tackle the complex tasks independently like an agent. It’s an IDE built to keep you in flow state coupled with instant AI developer assistance where and when you want it.
How the Netlify + Windsurf integration saves you time and effort
If you’re like most developers, you already spend most of your day in your IDE. It’s where you design, build, and iterate. But when it comes time to deploy, the smooth workflow often stalls: switching to CLIs, wrestling with configuration, setting up accounts, managing infra, and sometimes waiting on DevOps. With Windsurf + Netlify, you skip all of this.
Create, Build, and Deploy. All without leaving Windsurf.
Every deployment is powered by Netlify’s platform which offers custom domains, global edge network, serverless and edge functions, auto-scaling, secret scanning and management, and enterprise-grade security. Built-in.
With this integration, you can:
- Deploy AI-generated apps to production directly from Windsurf
- Ship production-ready URLs without leaving the IDE
- Skip infrastructure setup entirely
- Iterate faster on experiments or production apps
How the integration with Netlify works inside of your Windsurf IDE
Picture this: You’re building a site or app with AI-assisted coding. With Cascade, Windsurf’s agentic chatbot, you scaffold, refactor, and ship, all directly inside your IDE. When you’re ready to share it with a teammate or ship it live, you either click the Deploy icon or say Deploy my application and Cascade will work to understand your project, build, and deploy your project. Once it is complete, you will get a production-ready URL to use and share!
Then, if you want to claim your URL for more control, select Claim here and log in to Netlify to claim the site for custom domains, access controls, secret scanning that protect API keys from leaking into production, and access to the full Netlify platform.
Want to make updates? Same approach. One click and your changes are live.
From AI-generated code to production, without leaving the IDE.
Agent Experience (AX): A new workflow for a new era
Beyond just code generation, this partnership supports the new era of agent experience (AX), where AI agents autonomously build, deploy, and iterate applications alongside human developers. AI isn’t just changing how applications are built. It’s now participating in full workflows: building, deploying, and iterating on production applications.
But this shift comes with new demands. Most platforms were never designed with AI agents in mind. They were built for human-only workflows. As the company that coined the term Agent Experience (AX), Netlify is defining what AX means for the industry and investing in our own platform to ensure it works seamlessly for both humans and AI agents.
With AX, and integrations like this one between Windsurf and Netlify, agents and developers share the workflow. The result is faster iteration, less overhead, and production-ready apps generated and shipped in minutes, not weeks.

Netlify streamlines the path to production
We’ve always focused on one thing: making the path from code to production as fast and smooth as possible. That means:
- Infrastructure? Handled. Scaling, delivery, and security are all built-in.
- Deployments? Instant and production-grade by default.
- Reliability? Already trusted by some of the most demanding teams on the web.
