Are you being servered? — Exploring a “serverless” web

JAMstack is an emerging term which describes an approach to architecting and delivering sites as pre-rendered assets, and where necessary, enhancing them with JavaScript and services via APIs. There has never been a better time for a fresh look at how we approach building and delivering web sites and applications. From the careful selection of JavaScript libraries and frameworks, to the use of emerging tools, services, and platforms. In this talk we’ll explore how an application can be built to include pre-rendered user interface elements and dynamic APIs backed with data services. All without needing to manage or maintain a server.
