Advice on third-party services
Netlify primarily provides support for Netlify products and features that are part of the Netlify platform, including Netlify Build, Netlify Edge, Netlify Functions, and Netlify CLI.
Netlify may be able to advise on third-party software, frameworks, or related open-source services such as Netlify CMS, Contentful, Yarn, or Cloudinary. However, the scope of Netlify’s support for third-party services is limited. We cannot promise bug fixes or debug customizations of remote services.
Best practices for networking issues
Netlify Edge (sometimes called the content delivery network or “CDN”) works best when it is used directly without firewalls, proxies, or other CDNs in front of it. Your sites should have DNS configured as described in our documentation. We may require you to reconfigure your sites and DNS per our recommendations before we can assist with networking issues.
Support limits
- Base functionality of Netlify’s build and deploy pipeline is supported, but we cannot help you debug any source code used either during build or after deployment. We’ll be willing to help troubleshoot any build failure that you can confirm in our build image when well-configured, and we’ll guide you in debugging the behavior of your site at a very high level.
- Netlify’s other services such as form handling, Identity, Git Gateway, Functions, and prerendering are supported when used as described in our documentation. We will assist in deployment and activation issues and point you to resources that can help you troubleshoot your usage of Netlify’s features. However, a custom contract is needed to get support for advanced API usage or debugging any code you write to access our services. Custom service contracts are available at additional cost and will have their own support terms and conditions.
- Load/security testing and migration support require advance notice of one week. We must agree to the scheduling and a custom support contract is required.
- Custom code requires a contract for services.
