Debugging failed builds with Netlify

We all get failed builds. Sometimes it works on your machine and then as soon as you push it to your hosting platform, something breaks in the build. Then, you have to sort through the build logs trying to spot what went wrong and figure it out.

But what if you could get some help?

Meet Netlify’s AI-powered 'Why Did It Fail?' feature—designed to help you troubleshoot build errors.

In this video, we’ll walk you through how to use this powerful debugging tool to identify and fix the issues behind a failed deploy. With a single click, Netlify identifies the cause of deploy failures and provides actionable solutions, helping you fix errors in record time.
