⚡️ FEDC 2018 - Chris Coyier
summary
Argues that servers are less central now by showing concrete stacks: deploy static sites on GitHub Pages, build with Jekyll Hugo 11ty or Metalsmith, or pair a static front end with a WordPress REST API or headless CMS for dynamic data. Demonstrates CodePen limits (no backend or persistent datastore) and how to add auth comments and functions via third-party services and static site generators to keep CDN speed while using serverless endpoints for the bits that must run.
