Jamstack

Jamstack is a modern web development architecture that decouples the frontend from the backend by pre-rendering static content and serving it via a CDN, while dynamic functionality is handled through APIs. It stands for JavaScript, APIs, and Markup, emphasizing a build process that generates static HTML files at deploy time. This approach improves performance, security, and scalability by reducing server-side dependencies.

🧊Why learn Jamstack?

Developers should use Jamstack for building fast, secure, and scalable websites or applications, such as blogs, e-commerce sites, and marketing pages, where content changes infrequently or can be pre-rendered. It's ideal when you want to leverage modern frontend frameworks like React or Vue.js while minimizing server maintenance and costs, as it simplifies deployment and enhances user experience with faster load times.
