Jamstack is primarily a set of technologies to drive UIs. It empowers frontend developers to wrangle backend APIs into compelling experiences easily. That leaves many developers wondering where “everything else” goes - things like user registration, authentication, restricted access, user-generated-content, commerce and search.

In this session, I’ll take you through a Jamstack architecture that has more than just a frontend. I will help you architect and build solutions that enable you to solve all of your customers’ requirements.

Learn the kinds of solutions that Jamstack is great at solving
See how you can add existing APIs onto your Jamstack solution
Learn how you can build new APIs to solve unique customer problems as part of your Jamstack website
