In the recorded walkthrough, the session covers: How's it going hey thanks for having me on really appreciate it nice to have thanks for coming now anytime want me back i'll come again so a little bit about james james does a weekly jam stack video on youtube with the full crash course every other week he's building a public platform called collab stream that allows to create schedule and manage collaboration with others which by the way we should probably link.

Continuing deeper into the implementation details: Because that's the hardest part of our job james is the new developer advocate at tina's ems which is what we were talking about today and bringing the jam stack together with tina cms and i just have to throw out there before before we get started you're actually probably employed by forestry.oh yeah yeah yeah so that's that's the the next iteration of what forestry is yep so can we talk a little bit.

When applying the concepts from Bringing the Jamstack Together with TinaCMS in a production codebase, teams working with Serverless, Next.js, React, GitHub should align their implementation with the Serverless Land & Cloud Patterns (Event-driven architecture, functions-as-a-service, and cloud workflows). Structuring your workflow around repeatable patterns, automated verification, and clear separation of concerns helps prevent regressions as your application scales.
