How Does the JAMstack Work?

by Dipti Kumari Digital Marketing

JAMstack is the buzzword in the tech industry currently and everyone wants to know how they can leverage JAMstack to gain more business out of their websites.

So, in this article, you'll get to know how the JAMstack works.

But, before that for those who don't know what is JAMstack, you can refer to this article by me: What is JAMstack?

So, there's nothing too complex about the working of JAMstack. It's quite simple and fresh and especially for e-commerce websites, JAMstack has made it very easy. The whole working of JAMstack can be classified into:

1) Designing

2) Static Site Generation

3) Integration of Headless CMS

4) Integration of Headless Ecommerce Solution

5) Deployment to a CDN

JAMStack separates the frontend presentation again from the dynamic functionality of the ""head"" application, enabling faster performance and an improved customer experience.

This is done using markup: your static HTML files. In a headless setup, these files may come from a static website generator like React or Vue, or a digital experience platform DXP. Because they are static, the files can be pre-rendered from a CDN cache, allowing users to see content with minimal loading time.

With e-commerce, many components are dynamic, not static. This includes product prices, stock levels, temporary promotions, and customer reviews. To be able to handle this dynamic functionality, JAMStack uses Javascript to dynamically insert content after essential markup and APIs pull data from the backend services.

The benefits of JAMstack are there for you. You just need to acquire them and see your business flourish organically with that.
