Tapas, this was great! I look forward to the next piece in the series.

I just started with Gatsby+AWS recently and I’m really enjoying learning from people who have been doing it longer, many web applications today could benefit from being mostly static (I think).

I have three questions for you: 🥳

Have you tried many SSG’s, what’s your personal favorite?🤔

As CI/CD is an important part of the process, How important is it to host with a large company like AWS, having access to those technologies, routing, CDN, serverless functions, do you think that’s important for the JAM stack?🤨

I have only tried AWS but I plan to investigate Netlify, do you recommend any others?🧐

I worry as a business evolves, the need for compute power potentially arises and then I’m not sure about the JAM stack, but that’s why I look forward to the next articles and hearing more. 😀

First of all, great to have a reader like you! Really appreciate that, you took time to read, showed interest in the series and asked valuable questions 👍 🙏.

Let me try answering those:

**Have you tried many SSG’s, what’s your personal favorite?**

> 😃 I have not tried many. I have tried just three so far. Gatsby, Next and Hugo. I have called them out in my favorite order, however I liked all of them. As I am planning an article to touch-base the SSGs, I would save my answer until then on why Gatsby is my favorite(until now, with little bit of frustrations).

**As CI/CD is an important part of the process, How important is it to host with a large company like AWS, having access to those technologies, routing, CDN, serverless functions, do you think that’s important for the JAM stack?**

> 💡 One of the characteristics of `JAMstack` is `Automatic Build and Automatic Deploy`. No doubt, it has to be continuous too. I think it is important(cost, speed and security wise) to bank on some of those like AWS(Though I am not recommending only AWS here!). For my organization case, things are on AWS. Many of my personal projects on `Netlify` and `GCP`.

**I have only tried AWS but I plan to investigate `Netlify`, do you recommend any others?**

> 🔥 Yes I do. However we need to be clear on-the use-cases. `Netlify` can not replace `AWS` usage completely today but, there are many uses-cases for them to co-exist for a single solution. One example is, `Netlify Functions` which are easy deployment of `AWS Lambda` functions. With that, you may not want to use AWS cloudfront and have the JAM deployed with Netlify. I will be covering this part in one of the articles in the series when we see the server side of the things.

_I worry as a business evolves, the need for compute power potentially arises and then I’m not sure about the JAM stack, but that’s why I look forward to the next articles and hearing more._

> ✍️ I will go back to my three pillar concept again. Security, Cost and Speed. The computing power and cost of managing those also related some ways. Yes, I am surely going to write about it in depth in future articles of the series.

💡 Thank you very much for asking and it also guide me further to design future articles of the series.

Have a great day!
