To Mullenweg’s point, it is debatable whether most websites or blogs need to have their entire sites pre-rendered and delivered across a CDN every time a new page is published. And as a long-time blogger myself, it does remind me of Movable Type — which I eventually migrated away from (to go to WordPress), partly because of slow build times.

With that said, there is a big difference between an old Movable Type website from 2005 and a JAMstack site now. Despite the word “static” being used a lot in JAMstack, these websites can be very dynamic. Indeed, one of the advantages of JAMstack is that developers can more easily integrate APIs and serverless functions into their site.
