How do we unbundle the Jamstack, thoughts on meta-frameworks, Toast and Party Corgi with Chris Biscardi
UIT 6: In this week’s episode I talk with Chris Biscardi about the Jamstack, gatsbyJS and his own meta-framework called Toast, amongst many other interesting digressions :)
Overview
- Introduction
- JamStack
- Toast
- Party Corgi
- MDX Conf
- Wrap Questions
Introduction
Got into the industry via ActionScript, then moved over JS when Adobe killed it off. Worked at Docker, Dropbox and recently finished a contract with GatsbyJS.
Talk a bit about the Party Corgi Podcast, and the rainbow corgi logo (which is cute). Chris shares that he has nerves with his podcast too (after I apologies for a few nervous erm/ahhs etc). I’ve left these in unedited because the conversation took a nice direction.
What is the Jamstack
Jamstack and serverless are pretty much the same thing, and are both associated with Build vs Buy Paradigm i.e. if the technology is your core competency then build it, else buy it.
It’s basically the reduction in complexity associated with large devops pipelines i.e. you’re not running a kubernetes or large distributed infrastructure. Instead you’re basically shipping a zip file that’s then deployed on to Amazon S3 or a CDN, and you’re serving a bunch or static files. All the compute necessary to generate your site is done at build time.
A reasonable understanding of where the reduction in complexity ends up; is instead with the developer. One may have removed the need for a server to host a dynamic site with databases etc, but the same functionality has to be achieved at build time in a way that shouldn’t be too complex for the developer.
