Summary

The JAMstack is a modern architecture using JavaScript, APIs, and markup technologies to deliver safe, fast, and dynamic sites without relying on web servers. It allows for uncoupling frontend from backend, giving developers more time and power to focus on coding frontend features and experiences. The JAMstack also helps alleviate project budgets by saving money on infrastructure, security, and backend teams/dev hours. By using CDNs, APIs, serverless functions, and markup technologies like Angular, developers can create dynamic sites without relying on web servers. The demand for Angular static site generation is growing, and best practices include entire projects on a CDN, everything living on Git, modern build tools, automated builds, and atomic deploys.
