Avocado Labs is a way to keep people connected online and have access to quality talks. There will be live talks, which will then be uploaded, where expert speakers can share their knowledge. After each talk there will be a 5min Q&A where our speakers will be able to answer any related questions you may have. These episodes will be hosted and moderated by our Auth0 developer advocates to ensure a safe and friendly environment.
Description: In this episode we have a real treat with two amazing speakers, Guillermo Rauch (Vercel) and Cassidy Williams (Netlify)! They will discuss what the reality beyond the hype is, how to use the Jamstack in production and how Nextjs fits in with the Jamstack.
We've all heard about the rise of Jamstack and serverless, but what's the reality beyond the hype? How do I use the Jamstack in production? Why is Jamstack shifting company's investments towards frontend development, react, design systems and components, instead of the backend? In this talk we'll answer these questions, provide actionable guidance on how to benefit from Jamstack for your next big project, and discuss why Auth0 is perfectly positioned to be the "A" in "JAM".
By Guillermo Rauch - VercelIn this talk, I'll talk about how Next.js fits in with the Jamstack, how to use some of their built-in features, and how to deploy it.
