What are the emerging developments and trends that have contributed to the recent rise of Jamstack in web development?

I think one of the biggest things is the growth of these content delivery networks. Obviously, old school CDNs like Akamai serve media assets and have done that for a long time. But there's been a lot more interest -- companies like Cloudflare and Netlify and others that are pushing out more and more data to the edge, closer to the users. This is an ongoing trend. You also have this serverless trend of being able to deploy advanced websites and APIs and technology like that without necessarily having to be worrying about maintaining the servers.

And then a couple other forces are happening. One, front-end website development is getting more advanced and more complex. You have tools like React that are being embraced wildly, and people are creating really complex and interesting websites with them. So you have these front-end web developers that are really, really good at learning all the ins and outs of the frontend and maybe have very little backend experience and very little experience with PHP or Java servers. They built their front-end app all using React, and they just want to get that out there to the customers.

And then one other thing that has come along is a push for web performance and a demand that our websites get faster, especially as there are more mobile users and more users as the web continues to grow throughout the world. You want these websites to be accessible and fast to everybody out there. We've seen that the traditional model of building websites maybe isn't quite as fast or as optimized as it could be. So there's been a lot of push, at least in the web development community, about how can we get things to users as fast as possible? And then, how can I build out these sites as easily as possible?
