Decoupled web projects involve so many components. The hard part is testing all the pieces locally, together. Netlify Dev delivers this beautifully with one command.
Netlify CLI makes local dev *painless*
Zero-config required for all of your favorite frameworks
Netlify Dev automatically detects frameworks like Astro, Next.js, Nuxt, Gatsby, Eleventy, Hugo, Jekyll, and more and handles configuration for you. Don’t like the defaults? Set your own.
Environment variables included
When the development server starts, it pulls in all of the environment variables set in your Netlify dashboard.
Ready to run serverless functions
Write your serverless functions in JavaScript, TypeScript, or Go. Put your functions in the
/netlify/functions
folder. Netlify handles the rest.
Test your logic before deploying
Locally test routing, serverless functions, and personalization before you deploy your app to Netlify’s global edge network.
