# Netlify

> Deploy Nitro apps to Netlify functions or edge.

**Preset:** `netlify`

<read-more></read-more>

<note>

Integration with this provider is possible with [zero configuration](/deploy/#zero-config-providers).
</note>

Normally, the deployment to Netlify does not require any configuration.
Nitro will auto-detect that you are in a [Netlify](https://www.netlify.com) build environment and build the correct version of your server.

For new sites, Netlify will detect that you are using Nitro and set the publish directory to `dist` and build command to `npm run build`.

If you are upgrading an existing site you should check these and update them if needed.

If you want to add custom redirects, you can do so with [`routeRules`](/config#routerules) or by adding a [`_redirects`](https://docs.netlify.com/routing/redirects/#syntax-for-the-redirects-file) file to your `public` directory.

For deployment, just push to your git repository [as you would normally do for Netlify](https://docs.netlify.com/configure-builds/get-started/).

<note>

Make sure the publish directory is set to `dist` when creating a new project.

## Netlify edge functions

**Preset:** `netlify_edge`

Netlify Edge Functions use Deno and the powerful V8 JavaScript runtime to let you run globally distributed functions for the fastest possible response times.

Nitro output can directly run the server at the edge. Closer to your users.

<note>

Make sure the publish directory is set to `dist` when creating a new project.

## Custom deploy configuration

You can provide additional deploy configuration using the `netlify` key inside `nitro.config`. It will be merged with built-in auto-generated config. Currently the only supported value is `images.remote_images`, for [configuring Netlify Image CDN](https://docs.netlify.com/image-cdn/create-integration/).
