Definition

JAMstack (JavaScript, APIs, Markup) describes sites built as static HTML/JS at build time and served from a CDN, with dynamic features pulled from APIs. Modern frameworks (Next.js, Astro, Remix) blur the line, but the core idea — static-first, API-augmented — remains a strong default.

Example

A pSEO site built with Next.js SSG, deployed to Vercel, calling Stripe and Algolia APIs at runtime.
