Elevator Pitch
Much confusion exists around what kind of websites can fall under JAMstack. These sites can be served directly from a CDN without needing an origin server. Does this mean you can’t have dynamic data? That’s untrue and a myth I aim to bust by talking about a watch party app built with Ably and Strapi
Description
Jamstack has brought forward a great way to rethink the infrastructure of modern-day websites. It shows us just how much we can abstract away in the process of serving websites and, as a result, gain tremendous benefits to User and Developer Experience.
However, much confusion exists around what kind of websites can actually fall under this classification. The whole premise of Jamstack apps is based on the fact that these sites can be served directly from a CDN (Content Delivery Network), without needing an origin server. You might ask: “So these are static sites then? That means only pre-rendered content with nothing dynamic?” Well, that’s untrue and is one of the biggest myths around Jamstack. In this talk, I aim to bust this myth by talking about a live watch party app I built with Ably and Strapi
