Are you being servered? — exploring a serverless web
summary
Argues that JAMstack (JavaScript APIs + pre-rendered pages + markup) shifts complexity to build time, cutting attack surface and improving performance and scale; demonstrates concrete stack: Eleventy, FaunaDB, Netlify functions, webhooks and IFTTT; builds a working “virtual lollipop” with static URLs, a service-function 404 fallback and build-hook redeploys that complete in ~30–40s; shows a contrived clock that redeploys every minute (over 500,000 deploys), proving low-friction automation and where serverless functions augment static sites.
