Architecture
What is Jamstack?
A web architecture based on JavaScript, APIs, and Markup for fast, secure, scalable sites.
Definition
Jamstack is a modern web architecture that decouples the frontend from the backend. Sites are pre-rendered (static HTML/CSS/JS) at build time and served from a CDN. Dynamic functionality is added via JavaScript and APIs (third-party services or serverless functions). Benefits include faster load times, better security (no server to hack), lower hosting costs, and excellent developer experience. Platforms like Vercel, Netlify, and Cloudflare Pages are purpose-built for Jamstack.
