Jamstack

Jamstack is a web architecture based on JavaScript, APIs, and Markup. Instead of generating pages on the server with every request, they are pre-built as static files and served through a CDN. Dynamic features are added via APIs and serverless functions — resulting in an extremely fast, secure, and scalable website.

Why does this matter?

Jamstack websites load in under a second, require no complex server infrastructure, and are virtually immune to hacking — there is no database server to compromise. For mid-sized businesses, this means: lower hosting costs, less maintenance, and a website that handles traffic spikes without breaking.

How IJONIS uses this

We build Jamstack websites with Next.js and Vercel as the hosting platform. Content is managed through Headless CMS or MDX and automatically deployed as static pages on every update. For dynamic features like forms or search results, we use Edge Functions and API Routes — faster than traditional servers.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Jamstack suitable for larger websites with thousands of pages?
Yes. With Incremental Static Regeneration (ISR) in Next.js, only changed pages are rebuilt — not the entire website. E-commerce platforms with hundreds of thousands of product pages successfully use Jamstack. Build times stay in the seconds range even for very large sites thanks to ISR.
What costs do I save with Jamstack compared to a traditional CMS?
Server hosting is eliminated entirely — CDN hosting costs EUR 0-20/month for typical business websites instead of EUR 50-200 for managed hosting. Add lower maintenance costs: no PHP updates, no database patches, no security plugins. Total cost of ownership typically drops by 40-60%.
