What are we talking about?
We ran a survey!
- 30 days
- 3,127 respondents
- Jamstack and non-Jamstack users

Why should I care?
1. Developers benefit from more context
Why should I care?
2. Comedy
Disclaimers
- This is about Jamstack developers
- This is NOT about all web developers
- This mentions how popular things are
- That's NOT saying how good things are
Part 1: Who we are
We are mostly the same as developers in general!
Jamstack is in every industry
Jamstack developers are an experienced bunch
Developers are pretty new to the Jamstack
The Jamstack is
heavily used by agences
What teams are you on, and what teams do you talk to?
Mostly team answers matched, but not all!
Part 2: What we do
Enterprise developers are a big part of the Jamstack
Jamstack sites scale to millions of users
...but also lots of
smaller audiences
Jamstack developers like the workflow
Shipping fast comes before shipping safely
(Unless you're an enterprise developer)
The hardest part of launching a site is defining the product
Bonus:
this is a free startup idea
Part 3: how we do it
Satisfaction scores
Beware!
- Satisfaction != popularity
- Popularity != quality
Satisfaction =
{I want to use this more}
{I want to use this less}
TypeScript is a big deal
(especially if you're an enterprise developer)
37% of Jamstack developers aren't* JavaScript developers
* primarily
Language usage
in the Jamstack
Rust developers are really happy about it
Old folks like SQL
Web frameworks
React dominates the web
jQuery just works here
Outliers: 11ty and Svelte
Everybody loves Markdown
(Except me)
People also like databases
We use REST,
but we prefer GraphQL
Figma on the rise
What does this all mean?
1. Jamstack is for grown-up
What does this all mean?
2. Jamstack is not
done growing
What does this all mean?
3. Jamstack is not (just) about performance and scalability
What does this all mean?
4. We hate email
but not as much as we hate Yammer
Thanks!
