JAMstack

JAMstack sites pre-render pages at build time or on-demand, serve them via CDNs and consume APIs for dynamic features. This reduces server load and improves performance and security.

When it fits

• Content-heavy sites where most pages can be cached globally
• Marketing sites, documentation, blogs and SaaS frontends

Risks

• Build times for very large sites
• Dynamic personalisation requires edge or client techniques

Real-world examples

• Documentation portals and marketing sites for many SaaS companies served globally via CDNs
• E-commerce catalogues using static generation with client-side cart and checkout via APIs

Practical tips

• Use incremental static regeneration and edge caching for scale
• Offload dynamic features to APIs and edge functions
