Where are we coming from?

The age of the monolithic architecture

 

BEFORE ALL OF That

 If you made an “index.html” file for your cafe and put the soup of the day on it and hosted on bare-bones hosting, that’s a JAMstack site. Like we did in like 1993. No fancy server-side languages. No database. Just a file with some content on it.

  • Poor Security

  • Performance

  • Scalability

The age of Git , Microservices and ES6

The need to switch became clearer

The JAMstack

Is it a bird? Is it a plane? Nope, it's not superman.

 

JavaScript, APIs & Markup

Client & Server

Services

JAMstack Superpowers

  • Better Performance

  • High-security

  • Cheap and Fast deployment

JAMstack uses this line to Jump rope.

It goes way beyond static 

 

  • Build SPAs having state like cart and notification counts

  • Handle authentication and user validation

  • Handle payments and complex business logic

  • Make database calls

 

Can we still call this a thing for Blogs and simple websites?

This is the future!

Open Source Festival : In Search Of a FASTER web

Here’s the abstract: In search of a faster web . Humans are generally curious, we poke at things until we can fully understand them . Sometimes we jump into rabbit holes hoping to find what we don’t know about . First it was the internet , then the moon , then the web . Now even things have their own web ( IOT ) , You think that’s cool ?? It gets better . Robots , Deep learning , smart houses . The list goes on , I digress. The web , we had a some what monolith method of building for the web ,the backend spoke to servers and databases that displayed information on the Frontend we called that the LAMP stack , ME{ARV}N stack . ( depending on your JavaScript front end framework). Component frameworks rules the web , are we cool with that ? Totally . However like I said , We’re always curious. So we invented a new way of building for the web {Drum roll 🥁} JAMSTACK . In this talk will he focusing on all the awesome features of the JAMsatck and also looking at the role of tools like Gatsby, Netlify, Headless CMSs in this evolution.
