Summary

** The JAMstack is a web development architecture that allows for prebuilding and prerendering sites without the need for a server, enhancing dynamicism with microservices. Divya has been sharing daily insights about the JAMstack through her "JAMuary" series, covering topics such as what it is, why choose it, who uses it, and how to implement it. Her posts provide a great introduction to the concept and offer context on traditional approaches and motivations for selecting one stack over another. The JAMstack has been used successfully in enterprise settings, with companies like Loblaw Digital experiencing significant performance improvements and cost savings by shifting to the technology. Divya also addresses common misconceptions about the JAMstack, such as whether Single Page Applications can be considered JAMstack sites and how large sites can be handled at scale. The series is a valuable resource for developers looking to understand the benefits and caveats of the JAMstack ecosystem.
