Deploying Static Sites and JAMstack
A static site is one where the pages are pre-built into plain files and served directly, rather than being assembled by a server on each visit. JAMstack is a modern approach built around this idea.
For the right kind of website, this means exceptional speed, strong security and very low running costs.
Why Static Deployment Is So Effective
- Fast: pre-built files load almost instantly.
- Secure: no live database to attack.
- Cheap: simple, inexpensive hosting.
- Resilient: easily served from many locations at once.
How Deployment Works
When content or code changes, the pipeline rebuilds the site into fresh files and publishes them to a global content network. Dynamic features, such as forms or search, are added through small services so you still get interactivity without the overhead of a traditional server.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is a static site suitable for my project?
It is ideal for marketing sites, blogs and documentation. Highly interactive, logged-in applications usually need a different approach.
