Basic forms?
Netlify Forms, with JS for just validation.
Actual dynamic content? APIs. For example on Firebase, or cloud functions on Azure, AWS, or Google clouds.
Netlify also has 125k functions per site too. Could connect that to a mongodb database
thanks looking into it!
Nelify forms have up to 100 free form submissions per month so it might be useful for basic use cases like a contact form.
Unless you need something more to create a emails list you can embed a sign-up form using MailChimp to do that.
Great post! I think we have just taken for granted if we need data from an API we must have a single page app. I love how JAM stack is pushing back on this.
Thanks alot for reading :) I feel JAM stack is a next evolution for single page app with alot of useful features.
