There are many technology stacks for developers to choose from — LAMP, MEAN, .NET, etc. JAMstack is another choice, but many developers will tell you it’s far more than just another option — particularly now that we’re venturing into the Internet of Things (IoT) era.

That’s because, unlike other technology or IT stacks, JAMstack isn’t concerned with the specific software or technology being used. Instead, it’s based on the usage of JavaScript, APIs and Markup — but exactly how you use these is up to you.
