Open source drives the web forward
At Netlify, our mission is to enable the world’s developers to create, and unlock the power of the web. That mission depends on a thriving ecosystem of open source. For more than a decade, we’ve been proud to invest in the open web, because it’s not just about strengthening our own platform, it’s about building a better web for everyone.
The value of having an open web cannot be overstated. The frameworks, libraries, and tools that power modern development succeed because they are open, collaborative, and accessible. Sustained funding ensures these systems have the stability they need to keep improving, giving developers space to innovate and push the web forward. At Netlify, we’re proud to have been supporting the open web for over a decade.
Collaboration with Cloudflare
Despite having our own take on web platforms/infra, we’re proud to work alongside Cloudflare with the shared conviction around funding open source projects matters deeply not just for our platforms, but for the health of the web as a whole.
Supporting open source is most impactful when it goes beyond individual contributions. The strongest projects emerge when multiple organizations align behind shared goals, giving developers the broadest opportunities for success.
That’s why Netlify and Cloudflare have come together to support standout frameworks like TanStack, Astro, and others that are shaping the future of web development. These frameworks represent the innovation and reliability developers need, and by funding them together (as well as welcoming others into this effort) we’re helping ensure they remain strong, independent, and community-driven.
This is what true open source looks like: competitors across the industry investing in shared infrastructure because we all believe a rising tide lifts all boats. While Netlify and Cloudflare each have our own vision for the web platform, we’re united in the conviction that funding open source projects matters deeply. Not just for our companies, but for the health of the web itself.
Because at the end of the day, our shared responsibility is bigger than any single product or platform: it’s about enabling every developer, everywhere, to create freely and unlock the full power of the web.
“The only way to help build a better Internet is through collaboration. Open-source projects are the foundation of the modern web, and frameworks like TanStack are essential for the next generation of developers. We are excited to partner with Netlify to ensure these tools are sustainable, allowing the entire ecosystem to continue innovating on a strong and open foundation.”
