Netlify's SDK goes GA / CFE.dev

Your Jamstack update

Later today (from 11am-5pm ET UTC -4), I will be hosting CodeWord Conf. This is a free, one-day virtual conference all about working with content in code. I'd bet that all of us work with content in our application code, whether it's working with a CMS (headless or otherwise), displaying content, making content accessible, etc. Yet, we rarely talk about this specifically...which is why I created this event. I hope to see you there.

Islands & Server Components & Resumability, Oh My!

Announcing the General Availability of Netlify SDK (Software Development Kit)
Netlify has released a new SDK that supports connectors for any Netlify Connect data source, event handlers for build events, API handlers to call serverless functions during build time and an integration UI. Some portions of the SDK work on all team plans (ex. API handlers) while others require an enterprise plan (Netlify Connect integration). See more discussion on The New Stack.
