Jamstack Cms

Overview:

JAMstack CMS is a beta version of an end-to-end serverless blogging and CMS system. It is built with GraphQL, Gatsby, and AWS Amplify, and its theming is based on the Novela theme by Narative. The purpose of JAMstack CMS is to allow users to deploy a full-stack serverless website within minutes. It includes features such as authentication and authorization for admin users, a secure database with API access, a server-rendered front end for builds, and a dynamic front end for admins to create, update, and delete content. With JAMstack CMS, users can have a static build as well as a dynamic admin view to manipulate content and preview pages before deployment.
