Understanding JAMstack

Tags: #JAMstack #WebDevelopment #StaticSites #JavaScript

JAMstack stands for JavaScript, APIs, and Markup. It is an architecture for building modern web applications with a focus on client-side rendering and leveraging APIs for server-side functionalities. In a JAMstack application, the frontend is decoupled from the backend, enabling better performance, higher security, and easier scalability. The architecture promotes the use of static site generators, serverless functions, and CDN for efficient content delivery. It represents a shift from traditional monolithic architectures, offering a more flexible and developer-friendly environment.
