Jamstack

JAM = JavaScript + API + Markup

What is it?

You develop the front end app, and the back end lives somewhere as a service.

For me it means this:

1. Write code.
2. Test it locally.
3. To deploy, push to git.

Who supports it?

• Netlify
• Cloudflare
• Vercel

You can use your own backend of course, but what's the fun of that? Well, ease of deployment, ease of updates, and security.

In my case I work for a county and I can't just throw any app out onto a freemium service provider without due consideration for stability and data privacy.
