Case Study: Cloud Native Computing Foundation lowers maintenance overhead with Netlify

How CNCF enables community-sourced ecosystem map with Netlify deploy previews

The Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF) needed a way to keep its community-sourced Cloud Native Landscape accurate without spending hours manually updating company details, logos, and new project entries. As the ecosystem grew quickly, the team wanted a simpler way for contributors to suggest changes safely, and turned to Netlify and its deploy preview workflow.

With Netlify Staging Previews and automated nightly redeploys, CNCF could review updates before publishing them and keep the Landscape fresh with minimal manual effort. Netlify helped reduce maintenance overhead, let non-developers contribute more easily, and ensured the site was never more than 24 hours out of date, all without requiring additional staff or support.
