Professional Jamstack Frontend

A high-performance, edge-delivered frontend stack optimizing for Core Web Vitals and developer experience.

Architecture Diagram

Description

The “Jamstack” (JavaScript, APIs, Markup) philosophy has evolved into dynamic, edge-cached applications. This stack provides the fastest possible “Time to First Byte” globally.

Core Components:

  • Next.js (Framework): React framework handling hybrid rendering (SSR/SSG) and routing.
  • Vercel/Cloudflare (Edge): Global CDN that caches not just assets but also dynamic serverless functional responses.
  • Headless CMS (Sanity/Contentful): Decoupled content management allowing marketers to edit content without touching code.
  • Headless Commerce/API: Backend logic connected via typed APIs.

Why this stack? Decoupling the frontend from the backend (Headless) allows each layer to scale independently and lets frontend teams ship daily without backend bottlenecks.
