Modern Techniques for Ultra Fast Sites and Web Applications

Modern Web Development on the JAMstack

Nick Gracilla

JAMstack is a rapidly growing, modern web site and web app architecture. It's not a specific technology per se, but rather an approach to software development that utilizes the best of content prerendering and content distribution networks, Javascript, and APIs. Because the approach is newish, there's a tendency in the current technical literature to reiterate the basics. And while the first half of this book does a bit of that — perhaps in the most definitively, clear cut way — it's the under-lauded second half, the case study of Smashing Magazine, where deep technical details on serverless architecture, event-driven hooks, and loosely coupled microservices are set out. This is required reading for anyone nudging towards the app side of JAMstack, and a great one, too. Highly recommended.
