When the term Jamstack was introduced by Matt Biilmann in 2015, it focused primarily on the speed, security and DX benefits of pre-rendering (i.e. statically generating) pages using third-party APIs and services as a backend. Fast forward to 2024 and the term Jamstack has been pushed aside in favor of "composable architectures". However, the differences between the two go deeper than just a swap of buzzwords. In this session, we'll discuss what it means to be composable, whether Jamstack is still relevant and the tools and services pushing web development in new directions.
