You can call `login()`, `signup()`, or `logout()` from a Netlify Function or Edge Function to handle authentication entirely on the server. The library reads and writes the `nf_jwt` and `nf_refresh` cookies through the Netlify runtime, so the user’s browser receives the session via the response. netlify/functions/login.ts ``` import { login, verifyRequestOrigin } from '@netlify/identity'import type { Context } from '@netlify/functions' export default async (req: Request, context: Context) => { verifyRequestOrigin(req) const { email, password } = await req.json() await login(email, password) return new Response(null, { status: 302, headers: { Location: '/dashboard' } })} ``` When `login()`, `signup()`, or `logout()` runs inside an HTTP endpoint that you expose, that endpoint needs Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) protection. Without it, an attacker can trick a victim’s browser into logging into the attacker’s account, then collect anything the victim does inside that session. Call `verifyRequestOrigin(request)` at the start of the handler. It compares the request’s `Origin` header against the request’s own origin and throws a 403 on mismatch. If your framework already checks `Origin` on state-changing requests by default, the call is redundant but harmless. Refer to the [`@netlify/identity` CSRF protection documentation](https://www.npmjs.com/package/@netlify/identity#security-csrf-protection) for the full threat model and the `allowedOrigins` option. [Permalink to Netlify Identity package update: CSRF protection with new \`verifyRequestOrigin\` helper Permalink](/changelog/2026-05-02-netlify-identity-verify-request-origin/) - [ ## New \`netlify logs\` CLI command ](/changelog/2026-05-01-netlify-logs-cli-command/) May 1, 2026 - [cli announcement](/changelog/tag/cli-announcement/) The Netlify CLI now includes a `netlify logs` command, giving you a powerful and flexible way to access logs for your projects whether you’re a developer debugging locally or an AI agent processing structured output. ## Filter by source Use `--source` to pull logs from functions, edge functions, deploys, or any combination of them together. Color-coded output makes it easy to tell sources apart at a glance when you’re tailing multiple at once. ![netlify logs CLI showing colour-coded output from functions and edge functions](/images/changelog/netlify-logs-cli-colour-coded.png) Need to narrow it down further? The `--function` and `--edge-function` flags let you filter to a specific function by name, and `--url` lets you target the exact deploy you want logs from. ## Historical and real-time views The `--since` and `--until` flags let you query logs over any specific time window — useful for tracking down what happened during a past deploy or incident. When you want to watch logs as they come in, `--follow` streams them in real time. ## JSON Lines support Pass `--json` to get structured output in JSON Lines format. This works in both historical and real-time modes, making `netlify logs` easy to pipe into your own tooling or integrate into automated workflows. ![netlify logs CLI with --json flag showing JSON Lines output](/images/changelog/netlify-logs-cli-json.png) Update to the latest Netlify CLI to start using it: ``` npm install -g netlify-cli@latest ``` Then run `netlify logs --help` to see all available options.

Learn more about this update and what it means for your workflow and working with AI agents in our blog post [Agent experience moves upstream](https://www.netlify.com/blog/agent-experience-moves-upstream/). Get started with our [Stripe Projects docs](https://docs.netlify.com/extend/install-and-use/setup-guides/stripe-projects), or check out Stripe’s official [Stripe Projects docs](https://docs.stripe.com/projects) for the full list of supported services and configuration options.

Netlify Database is designed to provide strong guardrails out-of-the-box when collaborating with team members and AI agents. For example, a marketing team member can start an agent run to suggest a feature that requires database changes, and then test the changes in a preview environment. A developer then reviews and publishes the change, and only then is the production database changed. When you create or update a project on Netlify using Agent Runners, your AI agent will automatically detect whether your app needs a database and set it up for you as needed. If you’re working locally, a database is provisioned automatically when you install `@netlify/database` and deploy to Netlify. Learn more about why we built Netlify Database and how it works in our [official blog post](https://www.netlify.com/blog/netlify-database/). ## What’s new Netlify Database replaces the beta Netlify DB experience that required an extension for the initial setup. The new experience is a native Netlify primitive, which means you can customize your database setup, choose your own ORM, and more. ### Pricing and availability Netlify Database is available for Credit-based plans only. When a database is active, it consumes credits for the compute and bandwidth used. However, database storage space (i.e., the size of data stored) is free until July 1, 2026. Different limits apply to your database depending on your plan type. Learn more in the [Plan limits](https://docs.netlify.com/build/data-and-storage/netlify-database/billing-and-usage/#plan-limits) docs. ### Usage meter updates To help you better understand how database usage works alongside other meters, we’re adding more context to how your usage is calculated and applied. We’re breaking down the Bandwidth and Compute meters to show you more granular usage for your team’s databases: Before launch After launch Bandwidth Bandwidth is now broken down into Database Bandwidth and Web Bandwidth Compute Compute is now broken down into Database Compute and Functions & Agent Compute Learn more about how usage meters work in our [Database usage meters docs](https://docs.netlify.com/build/data-and-storage/netlify-database/billing-and-usage/). ### Switching from the Netlify DB Beta experience If you set up a database using the Netlify DB Beta experience, which required the Neon extension, you can continue using it — Netlify will continue to support these databases. If you have a Credit-based plan, you have the option to [switch to the new experience](http://docs.netlify.com/build/data-and-storage/netlify-database/switch-to-netlify-database). ## Get started Get started with Netlify Database from your Agent Runners dashboard, favorite local AI agent, or CLI. Here are some quick docs links to get you started: - [Netlify Database docs](https://docs.netlify.com/build/data-and-storage/netlify-database/) - [API docs](https://docs.netlify.com/build/data-and-storage/netlify-database/api/) - [CLI reference](https://docs.netlify.com/build/data-and-storage/netlify-database/cli/) - [Switch to Netlify Database](http://docs.netlify.com/build/data-and-storage/netlify-database/switch-to-netlify-database) [Permalink to Netlify Database is now generally available Permalink](/changelog/2026-04-28-netlify-database/) - [ ## OpenAI GPT-5.5 and GPT-5.5 Pro now available in AI Gateway and Agent Runners ](/changelog/gpt-5-5-ai-gateway-agent-runners/) April 24, 2026 - [ai gateway](/changelog/tag/ai-gateway/) - [agent runners](/changelog/tag/agent-runners/) OpenAI’s GPT-5.5 and GPT-5.5 Pro models are now available through Netlify’s AI Gateway and Agent Runners with zero configuration required. Use the OpenAI SDK directly in your Netlify Functions without managing API keys or authentication. The AI Gateway handles everything automatically. Here’s an example using the GPT-5.5 model: ``` import OpenAI from 'openai'; export default async () => { const openai = new OpenAI(); const response = await openai.responses.create({ model: 'gpt-5.5', input: 'Give a concise explanation of how AI works.', }); return Response.json(response);}; ``` GPT-5.5 and GPT-5.5 Pro are available for all Function types and Agent Runners. You get automatic access to Netlify’s caching, rate limiting, and authentication infrastructure.

Previously, agent runs were automatically titled based on your prompt, which made longer lists harder to scan once you had several runs going. Editing the title lets you give each agent run a short, meaningful name, such as the feature you’re building or the bug you’re chasing, so you can find it again quickly and send it to a teammate without needing to explain which run is which. ## Try it out Open any agent run, select the title, and type a new name. The updated title appears in your list of runs and anywhere the run is shared. Learn more about [Agent Runners](https://docs.netlify.com/build/build-with-ai/agent-runners/overview/).
