Jamstack

Jamstack

Definition

Jamstack is an architectural approach for web applications built on pre-rendered markup, client-side JavaScript, and API-based dynamic functionality — decoupled from any specific backend. Jamstack sites are served from CDNs, load instantly, and scale trivially.

The term has evolved to include SSR and ISR patterns, with platforms like Netlify and Vercel defining the deployment model.
