There's nothing about jamstack that requires you to use third-parties (except the CDN part, I guess, but that's just a mirror). You could just as easily host your own CMS and database and call out to it the same way.
It's just that like auth, logging, etc, CDNs have been neatly abstracted out and service-ified in such a way that it's often more economical to go third-party. But that choice is orthogonal to jamstack.
- gosukiwi 5y agoI agree on that, and was going to add that, to be fair to the stack. But the reality is, while that's doable, most people just use third-party services, at least that's my experience.
- paulgb 5y agoSure, but I think that's true in non-Jamstack code as well. Datadog, Snowflake, BigQuery, DynamoDB, Google Analytics, etc. are all examples that I've seen used by non-Jamstack software, and most have a fair bit of lock-in.
- sergiotapia 5y agojamstack certainly presents itself first and foremost as "use third party services".
