Here are 5 great videos and articles we're bringing you this week!

  1. Static First: Pre-Generated JAMstack Sites with Serverless Rendering as a Fallback

  3. I created the exact same app in React and Vue. Here are the differences.
    Having used Vue at work, I had a fairly solid understanding of it. I was, however, curious to know what the grass was like on the other side of the fence β€” the grass in this scenario being React. πŸ‚

Great articles! JAM stack is something I have been messing with recently.

It is interesting to see the first article generates a new build for every submission. In the end they talk about running scheduled jobs to scale better. This would take the load off the server to SSR every individual request. The bundling of requests to build all at once would take a decent amount of processing power, I would assume.

Though, I love this is experiment. I definitely would love to delve in to the cost-benefit of having an infrastructure like this.
