What is JAMStack ? Jamstack is an architecture designed to make the web faster, more secure, and easier to scale. It builds on many of the tools and workflows which developers love, and which bring maximum productivity. The core principles of pre-rendering, and decoupling, enable sites and applications to be delivered with greater confidence and resilience than ever before. JAMstack is a software architecture and philosophy that adheres to the following components: Javascript, APIs, and Markup as the name implies “JAM”. 4 

Why JAMStack ? ➔ Security ➔ The Jamstack removes multiple moving parts and systems from the hosting infrastructure resulting in fewer servers and systems to harden against attack. ➔ Serving pages and assets as pre-generated files allows read-only hosting reducing attack vectors even further. 5 

Why JAMStack ? ➔ Scale ➔ Popular architectures deal with heavy traffic loads by adding logic to cache popular views and resources. ➔ The Jamstack provides this by default. When sites can be served entirely from a CDN there is no complex logic or workflow to determine what assets can be cached. 6 

Why JAMStack ? ➔ Performance ➔ Page loading speeds have an impact on user experience and conversion. Jamstack sites remove the need to generate page views on a server at request time by instead generating pages ahead of time during a build. 7 

Why JAMStack ? ➔ ➔ Maintainability A pre-generated site, being served directly from a simple host or directly from a CDN does not need a team of experts to "keep the lights on". ➔ Portability Jamstack sites are pre-generated. That means that you can host them from a wide variety of hosting services and have greater ability to move them to your preferred host. Any simple static hosting solution should be able to serve a Jamstack site. 8
