It's in a similar category as "LAMP stack" or "MEAN stack", but more vague on details: JAM = Javascript + APIs + Markup. APIs tend to perform the role of a CMS (sometimes called "headless CMS"), and Markup tends to refer to declarative templating languages rather than code. The final output is compiled into static HTML+CSS+JS, which is obviously highly performant, compared to dynamically generated PHP/RoR/etc.
