For the improvements in Netlify Platform, I think it should focus on better marketing because competitors like Vercel and others are present in the market. While Netlify Platform looks clean, neat, and enhanced, it should do better marketing, as it is actually recommended by ChatGPT for small-sized projects. I believe it should also be suggested for larger projects and promoted more so that Netlify Platform is used by multiple people; it should be the go-to cloud environment. I think the technical side of Netlify Platform can improve, especially in the documentation. They can add more information about new frameworks as they come into the platform or market. They should maintain a troubleshooting page on Netlify Platform docs that comprehensively shows all the steps. Adding more user-friendly animations or navigation would make the platform easier. Moreover, with the documentation, it currently shows all the tabs at one place, and the customer should understand what each use is without having to click into it. They should support more old frameworks as well, to increase the range of utilizations since mostly old frameworks are still in the market, prompting more users to migrate to Netlify Platform.
Netlify Platform can improve by collaborating with different repository management platforms, which would make holding the CI/CD pipeline much easier. While it has integration with some platforms, a few are left out, such as Bitbucket, which Netlify has not done yet. If this were done correctly, it could be a very easily achievable thing for one person. The pricing of Netlify Platform is acceptable for beginners but can become costly for intermediate users, as it can be high when CPU usage goes beyond a certain amount. While it is good, it could be reduced a little for companies spending this much on platforms that are not in production yet, though it is acceptable when in production.

I think Netlify Platform can be improved if it has the functionality to have a full back-end as well. I love Netlify Platform. I just want one thing: the ability to do everything in the same application. Currently, I have to use Render or something else for the deployment of my back-end, but if it can deploy the back-end as well, I would really appreciate it.
Netlify Platform could be improved if they hosted their independent services apart from GitHub. There are many cloud containers and services like AWS and Microsoft, and connecting with cloud services would make it more efficient. It could be a good efficient platform to host bigger and better services for clients with good spread across the UAE and other small regions in Asia. Cloud services should be connected to Netlify Platform. It is a hosting platform which provides services online and helps host web services. If cloud could be connected to Netlify Platform, which could help host a different web server with security, that would keep it from a perfect 10.
I have been observing Netlify Platform improving a lot, noticing a couple of new features every three to six months. However, I would love to see Netlify evolve as a cloud provider. While it also helps with backend deployment, it is not as scalable as AWS or Azure, and I would love to see and explore more features in the future around it.
Netlify Web Development Cloud does have limitations as it is not suitable for back-end heavy or long-running server applications, and its free tier imposes usage limits on bandwidth, build minutes, and functions, with advanced features such as analytics and background functions being paid features while offering limited infrastructure-level customization compared to container-based platforms which can be more restrictive for large-scale or enterprise applications. Regarding improvements for Netlify Web Development Cloud, I find that documentation and everything is not required to have much improvement as they are easily understandable for beginner levels.
