The term "JAMstack" has grown in popularity over the past 5 years since its coinage by Netlify co-founders Matt Biilmann and Chris Bach, with a flexible and far-reaching approach to web development that is sometimes misunderstood due to its simplicity. To address this, freeCodeCamp created an extended video explaining the core principles of JAMstack, common misconceptions, and providing examples starting with simple cases and gradually increasing complexity. The video covers topics such as hosting architectures, static assets vs static experiences, security, performance, and enables of the architectural model including static site generators, tooling and automation, browser capabilities, services, and the API economy. It also delves into specific use cases like client-side rendering targeted content and demonstrates a gradual migration to the JAMstack for existing sites, providing additional resources for further learning.
