Learn JAMStack by building Ecommerce website

The JAMstack is a cutting-edge web development architecture that emphasizes simplicity, speed, and security. It leverages pre-rendered files served directly from a Content Delivery Network (CDN), eliminating the need for traditional web servers. This approach offers several key advantages for modern web applications.

One of the primary benefits of the JAMstack is significantly improved performance. By pre-building pages at deploy time, websites can achieve minimal time to first byte, resulting in faster load times and a better user experience. Security is also enhanced as server-side processes are abstracted into microservice APIs, reducing potential attack surfaces. This architecture allows developers to take advantage of specialized third-party services, further improving overall security.

In Project 1 of this course, you'll learn to build a website from the ground up using the JAMstack approach. You'll set up an 11ty project, integrate data from Contentful CMS, style your pages with Tailwindcss, and deploy the finished site to Netlify. This hands-on experience will give you a comprehensive understanding of the JAMstack workflow.

Project 2 will focus on e-commerce, teaching you how to create a lightning-fast and secure online shop. Using Gatsby, you'll learn to pull all your product data at build time and pre-render the pages, resulting in near-instantaneous loading times. This project will demonstrate the power of the JAMstack in a real-world, high-performance scenario.
