I've been around what is now the Jamstack ecosystem for a long time, starting with Jekyll in 2014. A stereotype that still persists to some degree around these solutions is that they are for simple sites - that the Jamstack can't handle anything particularly complex. It struck me as I went through almost all of these posts how much they were solving complex and important problems modern sites face and that truly defy that stereotype.
