JAMstack: Silly Name. Serious Stuff
summary
Claims that matter: JAMstack delivers pre-rendered markup to a CDN so pages are faster by default and the attack surface shrinks because there is no origin server to compromise. Builds run ahead of time, yielding immutable deploys with per-deploy URLs and easy rollbacks. Dynamic needs use lightweight functions-as-a-service or third‑party APIs. Concrete outcomes cited: Citrix cuts costs ~65% and Smashing Magazine drops time‑to‑first‑byte from ~800ms to ~80ms; examples include Jekyll, Gatsby, Hugo and Netlify hosting.
