SAN FRANCISCO, May 27, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- JAMSTACK CONF VIRTUAL -- Netlify, pioneer of the modern Jamstack web architecture, today announced web developers across industries and years of experience are adopting the Jamstack architecture, choosing speed of development backed by coherent workflows over commoditized cloud services. A survey of more than 3,000 web developers revealed the most sought-after benefits of the Jamstack are performance, reliability and developer workflows, while one third of respondents reported their Jamstack sites serve millions of users each year.
Jamstack is an architecture for building web sites and applications based on modern tools and workflows for a faster, simpler and more secure web. It delivers the speed and simplicity of pre-rendered static sites with dynamic capabilities via JavaScript, APIs and serverless functions, all without the need to run web servers. Even though this new wave of web development has been on the rise over the last five years, this is the first report to share broad data and insights on the Jamstack category.
Insights from the survey, conducted March 16-April 19, 2020, include three main takeaways:
1) Results indicate rapid adoption and mainstream acceptance of this new architecture pattern.
2) Developers are running large sites on the Jamstack. One third of developers noted they have worked on sites serving millions of users over the last year.
3) Developers report they most care about performance and speed in their web environments.
Developers were also surveyed about a wide variety of tools and frameworks in the Jamstack ecosystem, including their usage, satisfaction, and plans to use them in the future.
With these results, Jamstack is showing wide adoption across levels and industries thanks to the flexibility it offers to developers around the world. Full survey results are available on netlify.com/blog.

"We coined the term 'Jamstack' in 2015 to better define what developers were already starting to do – decouple the front and backend web and apps, focus on best practices of speed and availability, and redefine their workflows. With the continued growth of tools and services in this community ecosystem, along with so many powerful web properties redefining how developers can do more with less, the next wave of web development is here, and it's the Jamstack."
