Jamstack, static sites and Azure
summary
Claim: Jamstack sites deliver faster page loads, stronger security, easier scaling and lower hosting costs by prebuilding cachable assets and serving them from CDNs. Walkthrough shows using Azure Static Web Apps with GitHub Actions to run builds, deploy static HTML/CSS/JS to CDN and pair dynamic needs with Azure Functions (Cosmos DB or Azure Search for data, Azure AD for auth). Notes concrete tradeoffs: full atomic builds can slow deploys and third‑party services add recurring costs and dependencies.
