imgix
imgix is a San Francisco-based visual media platform that optimizes, transforms, and delivers images and video in real time through a simple URL-based API. Founded in 2011 by former YouTube web developer Chris Zacharias, imgix lets developers resize, crop, compress, convert formats, and now apply AI edits such as background removal and generative fill simply by appending parameters to an image URL, offloading image infrastructure to a globally distributed CDN. The company serves tens of thousands of customers, including Unsplash, Kickstarter, Eventbrite, and Porsche, and delivers on the order of billions of image requests a day.
Netlify
Netlify is the platform that taught the modern web to ship fast. Founded in 2014 by Mathias Biilmann and Christian Bach, it pioneered the Jamstack architecture and a Git-driven workflow that turned every push into a production deploy. Today, more than five million developers and companies like Twilio, Unilever, and Peloton run on Netlify's global edge network - and the company is reinventing itself again around AI agents that ship code on behalf of humans.
