Scaling Fully Static Search to Real-world Sites with Pagefind
Liam Bigelow shows how the new, open-source Pagefind library helps developer add fast, low-bandwidth search to static sites.
The original JAM acronym stood for JavaScript, APIs and Markup – there was no D for databases. But the reality is that you cannot build a real web application without data and behind most data are databases. Today, having a relational database does not mean maintaining a server somewhere as many services have moved databases to the cloud. In this session, Taylor Barnett will show how relational databases are still important and relevant to today’s Jamstack applications.
Many of the applications we build today could be considered part of the Jamstack. But where do relational databases fit in? In this talk, we will explore how relational databases fit into our Jamstack applications, different database use cases, and dive into some of the misconceptions about databases in the Jamstack. For example, doesn’t the “A” in Jamstack mean that everything needs an API? We will also cover Jamstack database requirements, how to get started, and learn more about serverless databases.
