What is the JAMstack approach to website building?
Jamstack is a web architectural model focused on serving pre-generated, highly portable static assets from web development platforms, usually via a CDN (Content Delivery Network).
JavaScript - It is utilized to retrieve all the data for your website and manage its dynamic features. Usually, it operates client-side.
APIs - Access to the data is controlled by the API. They are reusable abstractions of what a traditional model would have had on the server.
Markup - With the aid of a static site generator or build tool, they are produced from the source files. Simply put, the Markup is used to produce content for static web pages that are then made available as API endpoints.
JAMstack is not a program or a product. It’s a mixture of different independent systems, each of which is carefully responsible for its own range of tasks. One system is responsible for the frontend (Gatsby JS), and another system is responsible for the backend (Contentful or Storyblok). There are cases when the developers share the backend processes between two or even three systems to produce high-speed websites that are a pleasure to work on websites
How does JAMstack work?
Jamstack works by sending pre-rendered files to a content delivery network and serving them directly (CDN).
What does it mean?
All your website pages have been rendered before and they are ready to use and they are kept on the server. If you have some dynamic content, JavaScript starts working in these situations.
JAMstack is used for building static websites. The Static Site Generator is used (SSG) in JAMstack websites.
A static site generator is a tool that generates a full static HTML website based on raw data and a set of templates.
Why should you use JAMstack?
There are some fast facts about JAMStack's benefits:
Keeping all pages on CDN helps us to get the max speed in page loading for the final website visitor.
CDN can be stable in case of any load and any number of website visitors. If you launch the advertisement campaign, your website should be prepared for the traffic increase. Otherwise you risk losing money on ads.
Low price of the hosting. Special hostings are used for such frontends. These hostings include keeping the code generator and CDN. Example: Netlify, Vercel, Cloudflare.
Pay attention that Netlify offers a free of charge plan if the traffic is less than 100GB and the content generation takes less than 300 minutes per month.
We use the innovative frameworks for the frontend development: Gatsby or NextJS. (Read more about Headless CMS) Both of these frameworks have a set of tools that reduce the size of the images, styles, and scripts. It moves the site to the green zone of the Page Speed Insights service. In most cases, it has a good effect on SEO and Google page ranking.
