JAMstack / CMS
Modern Web-development architecture based on Client-side JavaScript, resuable APIs and prebuild Markup
When we talk about "The Stack," we no longer talk about operating systems, specific web servers, backend programming languages, or databases.
The JAMstack is not about specific technologies. It's a new way of building websites and apps that delivers better performance, higher security, lower cost of scaling, and a better developer experience.
The JAMstack allows people to create websites that are simpler, faster, and more secure than other web development methods. Sites created with the JAMstack are delivered by pre-rendering files that are served directly from a CDN, removing the requirement to manage or run web servers.
J - client-side JavaScript
A - reusable API
M - prebuild Markup
- No restriction on framework or library
- Websites are served as static html files generated from source files, such as markdown using a static side generator like Gatsby
- High performance, generated at deploy time
- Cheaper and easy to scale
- Easy to deploy (Netlify)
