JAMStack - The Total Victory of JavaScript
summary
Argues that JAMstack actually delivers: pre-rendered markup plus JavaScript and APIs yields static assets served from CDN, cutting runtime servers and improving security and reliability. Cites tooling like static generators (Jekyll, Hugo, Next/Gatsby), serverless functions, Git CI and CDNs; gives a surprising performance figure — a rough 130 KB JS budget for acceptable 3G load times — and usage stats (mobile apps eating ~88% of phone time). Describes deploy previews and CDN‑level server-side analytics launched via PR and working in production.
