The document discusses the rise of the JAMstack, which stands for JavaScript, APIs, and Markup. It describes how the JAMstack architecture uses static sites, content managed by headless CMSes, and APIs to provide performance and security benefits compared to traditional monolithic frameworks. Key advantages of the JAMstack include faster load times, higher security since there are fewer moving parts, and easier scalability using CDNs. The document outlines the various ingredients that make up the JAMstack like static site generators, hosting providers, and serverless functions, and provides examples of how popular sites have benefited from adopting this architecture.
