Celebrating by letting everyone in our community join a virtual constellation in Netlispace.
Been incredible seeing the waves of new developers coming onboard during the last year as coding agents transform how people build on the web and opens up real web development for a much wider audience.
Yeah interestingly API's in their current form are rarely very good for agents. In many cases tools like Operator using a virtual browser and screenshotting are better for agent interactions than API specs.
This shows we need to build better approaches to agent interactions that are not at the level of "run a virtual browser", but that encodes much more of the workflows available than raw API's do today.

No, we're moving starter teams with no credit card on file to the free plan. Wan't to stay on starter plan and get billed for overages instead? Just add a credit card.
You choose the behavior that fits your usecase:
Free plan: no accidental bills, but your site may be suspended if you go over the limits.
Starter plan: free as long as you stay under the limits, but you'll get billed for overages.
I spotted Little Workshop when I saw https://equinox.space/ on Hacker News and noticed it was running on Netlify. Loved the fluidness, speed and art direction of a game running directly in the browser and working smoothly on my phone.
Immediately thought of them when we started thinking about a 5 million developer celebration and reached out. Love the result :)
1. Yes. We've forgiven lots and lots of bills over the last 9 years and they haven't gone viral
2. While I've always favored erring towards keeping people's sites up we are currently working on changing the default behavior to never let free sites incur overages
Our support team has reached out to the user from the thread to let them know they're not getting charged for this.
It's currently our policy to not shut down free sites during traffic spikes that doesn't match attack patterns, but instead forgiving any bills from legitimate mistakes after the fact.
Apologies that this didn't come through in the initial support reply.
The absolutes are in a bar chart in the framework part of the survey that makes the absolute usage from the responses very clear. The chart Zack took issue with is from the editorial part of the survey where we found the biggest news in the framework section to be the growth and satisfaction for Astro.
We changed the title to better reflect that the survey asks plenty of questions not directly related to jamstack (like usage of AI tools for web development etc).
Nothing changed in the methodology since last year and as always the survey was run by our data team.
If you scroll past the editorial part of what our team found newsworthy in the data and down to the actual survey data, you'll see clear charts of absolute framework usage and detailed breakdowns on satisfaction for each framework.
The survey is a reflection of what our community responded.
Next is the largest framework in usage and is really will liked by it's users. This is clearly visible in the charts of the survey.
But for the first time we’ve run this survey, Next decreased in usage year over year (from 47% to 46%).
Astro jumped all the way from 11% to 18% with 87% responding they want to use it more.
Eleventy dropped in usage from our respondents from 19% last year to 16% this year.
None of this is an attack on anyone, it’s just data from our survey. The rise of Astro is one of the most newsworthy bits of data from the survey and reflects genuine excitement in the community we’re part of.
