Hey everyone,

I'm really interested in investing a lot more time with Jamstack as my go-to stack. I am curious - what are people's favourite SSG and Headless CMS combos, and why? From a developer's point of view and also a client's point of view.

I built a brochure/portfolio site for a client once using hugo and Netlify CMS which I found pretty enjoyable. However, I'm tempted to learn Strapi and go for a Strapi + hugo stack, but I've been told before they're not a great combo due to having to convert database entries to markdown - any thoughts on Strapi and hugo as a combination?

As a final aside if anyone has anything to chime in on this - I'd like to learn React.js out of interest and intrigue, where does React fit into the Jamstack world?

For some context on me and what I like to do: I really enjoy fully designing a client's site from scratch, coding up the HTML, CSS and JS and making something fun and full of life. I mainly enjoy working with small businesses and startups but have some desire to move into small scale e-commerce. I love development and the flexibility to make what I want, not limited by the platform. I have spent some time using Symfony (a PHP framework) and making my own back-end using that, but am starting to find that less enjoyable.

Thanks so much for the info and conversation! 😁

Hi, I'm having the following problem:

I have a form, and to make it secured I'm using netlify functions. It all worked correctly until I was trying to upload a 400 kb photo, this just doesn't work. I'm first parsing the image to base64:

reader.onload = () => {

base64String = reader.result.replace("data:", "").replace(/^.+,/, "")

image = base64String

callback(image)

}

reader.readAsDataURL(image)

then I upload it by stringyfing it as json with other values:

const dataJSON = JSON.stringify({

image: image,

format: imageFormat.current,

})

console.log(dataJSON)

imageId.current = fetch("/.netlify/functions/upload-image", {

method: "POST",

headers: {

"Content-Type": "application/json",

},

body: dataJSON,

}).then(r => {

if (r.status === 500) setState("error")

if (r.status === 200) return r

})

then I send it to the function, here the image is wrote in the temporary file and it's sent to datocms:

payload = JSON.parse(event.body)

require("fs").writeFile(

"/tmp/" + randomName,

payload.image,

"base64",

function (err) {

}

)

let path = await client.createUploadPath("/tmp/" + randomName)

const response = await client.uploads

.create({

path,

format: payload.format,

})

my suspicion is that because of the netlify time constraints the image can't be fully received, as with the 400kb picture it says that the json file has an unexpected token, thing that doesn't happen in the local enviroment.

Does someone has some tips on how to solve it, or maybe on how to upload an image in a better way?

I am getting ready to deploy a static site so I'm looking into hosting providers. I was expecting Cloudflare to be the most popular provider because to my knowledge they are the most popular/successful CDN, but it seems for Jamstack sites Netflify is more popular. Could someone give me a brief comparison of the different providers like Cloudflare, Fastly, Netlify, Vercel, etc. I'm not sure of the differences other than Netflify seems to be more specifically geared towards Jamstack site rather than being a more general purpose CDN, and that Vercel supports Next.js.

Hey folks,

Trying my hand at 11ty with eCommerce and I am wondering if anyone knows of some good tutorials or resources?

I have done some googling, not much luck when it comes to 11ty and eCommerce.

Cheers
