# What is Jamstack?

Jamstack is an architectural approach that decouples the web experience layer from data and business logic, improving flexibility, scalability, performance, and maintainability.

Jamstack removes the need for business logic to dictate the web experience.

It enables a composable architecture for the web where custom logic and 3rd party services are consumed through APIs.

## The Roots of Jamstack

Matt Biilmann took the concept of Jamstack mainstream with his presentation at Smashing Conf 2016. Watch the quintessential introduction to the Jamstack.
