What the stack tells you
Figma's stack is two stacks pretending to be one. The marketing pages sit on Netlify with Sanity feeding content into a React build that leans on Emotion for styling, while the product surface ships through Amazon CloudFront. That split is rare in this batch and it's deliberate: a static-first edge for /pricing, /about, and the blog where Netlify's deploy ergonomics and Sanity's editorial workflow earn their keep, and a separate AWS pipe for the canvas app where they own the cache rules, the WebAssembly payloads, and the bandwidth bill.
The build itself is modern in the ways that compound. Vite for the bundler, Priority Hints in the HTML, HSTS pinned, HTTP/3 enabled, and a PWA manifest configured even on the marketing surface. None of that is exotic in 2026, but seeing all of it shipped together is unusual outside teams that treat web vitals as a product KPI rather than a quarterly Lighthouse audit. Emotion specifically is interesting: it's a CSS-in-JS choice that has fallen out of fashion versus Tailwind in newer React codebases, which says the marketing site was built when Emotion was the consensus pick and has been maintained rather than rewritten. That's a healthy signal for a company shipping a design tool: they don't rebuild marketing infra every 18 months chasing framework news.
Sanity over a heavier CMS is the other tell. Editors get structured content and a real API, engineers get a schema they can version in git, and nothing in the stack forces a monolith. For a company whose product is itself a content surface, picking a headless CMS for the website is consistent with how they think about their own canvas.
The signal
Figma runs an engineering-grade marketing stack that respects the difference between a content surface and a product surface, and pays the operational cost of running both.
