The Global Dev Study #2 - How to Build Fast and Secure Websites with JAMstack

Summary

Many terms in the tech world seem more complicated than they truly are. This could certainly be said of JAMstack. In recent times, a lot more people have started using it, but many still have a complicated view of what it truly is.

JAMstack is a web application model based on three pillars, which provide the initials in its name: JavaScript, APIs, and markup. The JAMstack is a redefinition of the modern web for faster and more secure websites. These sites scale better and, with the proper toolset, are a lot easier (and more fun) to develop and maintain.

The main idea behind building JAMstack websites and applications is to push as much of the load as possible away from the server and onto the client. By doing so, dramatically reduces the number of requests sent to a server and thus eliminates a lot of the waiting time that comes with a server handling a request and sending it back to the client.

Drawing from the DevOps movement and the continuous integration/continuous delivery (CI/CD) techniques that are becoming the norm in many organizations, JAMstack upends long-held techniques for building interactive web pages, shifting load-time code execution away from web servers and toward in-browser JavaScript and external services accessed via APIs.
