Modern Web Architecture with JAMStack and Serverless

Modern web development is moving away from complex, monolithic servers toward faster, more secure decoupled architectures. To stay competitive, developers must understand how to deliver content that is both lightning-fast and easy to maintain. This course provides a clear path to understanding the JAMStack ecosystem, helping you transition from traditional hosting models to a modern workflow where performance and security are built-in by design. Through written explanations and technical examples, you will learn to decouple your front-end from your back-end to create scalable web projects. You will gain a deep understanding of how pre-rendering, serverless logic, and external APIs work together to provide a seamless user experience. What you'll learn: - Understand the core philosophy of JAMStack and how it differs from traditional server-side setups - Practice using Static Site Generators to create fast, pre-rendered web pages - Apply serverless functions and APIs to add dynamic features to static content - Integrate a Headless CMS to manage content independently from your codebase - Configure automated deployment pipelines using modern CI/CD workflows - Implement performance best practices and accessibility standards for modern web projects The course begins with foundational definitions of decoupled architecture before moving into the practical application of markup, APIs, and content management. You will read through conceptual explanations and code-based examples to understand how each layer of the stack interacts to form a cohesive system. This course is designed for beginners with basic HTML and CSS knowledge who want to learn professional web architecture. No prior experience with serverless technology is required.
