How Web Developers Gained Super Powers
summary
A history of decoupling shows how pre-rendered sites and pre-render to the edge plus headless APIs and serverless functions let frontend teams ship much faster: Netlify cites 4 million developers and 34 million sites, ~2,500 companies in the category and nearly 50% of the Fortune 500 using composable stacks. Real results include Pan Macmillan’s 8× faster site and a 12M‑item storefront cut from 16‑day builds to 3 minutes; next steps emphasized are backend-as-a-service, edge compute and Figma→code plus pragmatic AI.
