Peanut Butter Jamstack
summary
Argues that moving dynamic work to build time keeps production as simple flat files and shows a concrete stack: Eleventy (11ty) for static generation, Netlify for GitHub-triggered atomic deploys, form handling via Formspree or embedded Google Forms, search with Lunr for small sites or Algolia for larger ones. Demonstrations include a farmer’s market site that queries a weather API at build time to toggle “closed” messaging, a blog with ~6,200 posts, and exporting ~50,000 comments to flat files.
