ABOUT

We can build better websites that are easy to manage than with traditional technology. The rise of the JAMStack promises a lot of benefits. But we are not there yet. For this, we need to collaborate, swap ideas and share insights.

Business benefits:
→ Static site = faster site = better user experience & Google rankings = more traffic, more $
→ Static site = simpler site = more secure & reliable = less unpredicted expenses, peace of mind

What is a JAMStack?
JavaScript
With servers abstracted away by CDNs and APIs, sites are either database free (and generated up front) or consume hosted database services directly from the browser. JavaScript is in charge of any dynamic programming during the request/response cycle and runs entirely on the client.

APIs
Today browsers are the operating system of the web, and are able to run complex applications completely client side. They are capable of consuming and interacting with an ever growing amount of APIs and services across domains and infrastructures.

Markup
The JAMstack uses markup languages like HTML, CSS and Markdown to format and style our content, client-side JavaScript to make it interactive and engaging and APIs to add persistence, real-time sync, real-world interactions, comments, shopping carts, and so on.
