Discover the JAMstack, a modern approach to building web applications, and learn how to leverage static sites, APIs, and client-side rendering for faster, more scalable projects.
- The JAMstack is a term that refers to a new way of building websites and applications, focusing on static sites, APIs, and client-side rendering.
- The term JAMstack comes from the initials JavaScript, APIs, and Markup, as it represents a tech stack for building web applications.
- The JAMstack has no specific CMS or framework prescribed, and each project has its own unique requirements.
- The reason for choosing the JAMstack approach is to avoid dynamic rendering on the server, which can be slower, and instead focus on static site generation (SSG) and client-side rendering (CSR).
- The speaker acknowledges that the concept of JAMstack is not new, and that technologies like Gatsby and Next.js have been around for a while.
- The speaker emphasizes the importance of client-side rendering and pre-rendering as crucial concepts in the JAMstack.
- The speaker notes that, unlike other technologies, the JAMstack is not about a particular framework or CMS, but rather about the combination of JavaScript, APIs, and Markup.
- The speaker discusses the importance of understanding the needs of the project, including the agency work specifically, and choosing the right tech stack for it.
- The speaker emphasizes the need to maintain flexibility and adaptability when working with the JAMstack, as the tech stack can be easily maintained and updated.
- The speaker concludes that the JAMstack is not a fad, and that it has legs, with the potential to become a widely adopted standard for building web applications.
