Jamstack development

Jamstack is a web development architecture that uses pre-built Markup, JavaScript, and CSS files to create robust static webpages.

Jamstack can help improve your website’s performance and security while also making development simpler and faster.

The benefits of Jamstack include improved performance, security, and scalability; reduced costs; and a better developer experience.

The Jamstack is a great fit for any project that can be built using static site generators and deployed to a CDN. Some common examples include: websites, blogs, ecommerce stores, portfolios, and landing pages. See our blog post about when and when not to use Jamstack.

Some of the best practices for Jamstack development include using a static site generator, using a headless CMS, using an appropriate host such as Netlify, and using a CDN.

Some common Jamstack problems are: 1. Lack of flexibility: The Jamstack can be quite inflexible when it comes to certain features and functionality. For example, if you want to add a custom feature to your website, you may need to use a third-party service or plugin which can be difficult to integrate with your existing codebase. 2. Limited scalability: The Jamstack can be difficult to scale due to its reliance on static files. If your website starts to receive a lot of traffic, you may need to invest in a CDN or other infrastructure to ensure that your site can handle the load. 3. Lack of documentation: There is often a lack of documentation for Jamstack frameworks and libraries which can make it difficult for developers to get started. 4. immature ecosystem: The Jamstack ecosystem is still relatively immature compared to other web development stacks. This means that there are fewer tools and services available which can make it more difficult to find support when you need it.

There are many benefits to using Jamstack, including the following: 1. Faster performance: Since the entire site is built statically, there are no database queries or server-side processing required, resulting in faster page load times. 2. More secure: Since there is no server-side code, there are fewer opportunities for attackers to exploit vulnerabilities. 3. Scalable: Static sites are much easier to scale than traditional dynamic sites, since they can be served by a CDN without the need for additional server capacity. 4. Lower hosting costs: Static sites can be hosted on cheaper, shared hosting plans since they do not require specialised hosting environments.

The most popular Jamstack frameworks are React, Vue, Angular, and Svelte.

Some common Jamstack hosting providers are Netlify, Vercel, and GitHub Pages.

Some common Jamstack tools include static site generators like Jekyll, Hugo, and Gatsby; web hosting services like Netlify and Vercel; and headless content management systems like Contentful and Sanity.
