  • Jamstack) (homepage)
  • Netlify) (homepage)
  • Netlify Edge Handlers) (run code at the CDN edge)
  • The debate between Wordpress) and Jamstack) about the future of websites

**Topic 1 **- Welcome to the show. You’ve been trying to make websites easier for quite a while. Tell us a little bit about your background and what motivates you about Netlify.

**Topic 2 **- Let’s start by talking about how the web is consumed these days; what’s broken, and how are you trying to make it better?

**Topic 3 **-  What is Jamstack? How much is language, how much is frameworks, how much is architecture, and how much is a different way to think about Websites/Content/CMS?

**Topic 4 **- So we have this website content distributed out to the CDN, how to 3rd-party APIs interact with the system (e.g. Stripe, Agolia, Twilio, AWS Lambda, etc.)?

**Topic 5 **- CDN’s just used to serve content, and now they are running code at the edge. How do those interactions work? 

**Topic 6 **- You recently wrote that we might be hitting an inflection point for Websites/CMS’. Is that just a natural evolution of the distributed internet, or has anything in 2020 accelerated that?
