What is a Serverless CMS?
Is a headless the same as serverless CMS.
A headless cms de-couple's the content management of the backend from the publication of the site on the front end. The majority of headless cms are dependent upon a hosted back-end server which is used to manage the content. The other option is a self hosted serverless cms application which is used for content management locally in conjunction with a static site generator to publish the site to a CDN. YouDoCMS is both a headless and serverless cms.
In conjunction with cloud APIs via JavaScript static pages generated by a serverless CMS can provide interaction for the user. This platform is known as the Jamstack.

The Need for Speed
For those old enough to remember the original websites that were based on static HTML. These were replaced by content management systems such as WordPress. The advent of the cloud and the spread of JavaScript enabling automation within the browser has given rise to the new generation of static websites based upon JavaScript and API's. The so called JAMstack.

Security By Design
Static serverless sites are inherently secure for one simple reason. They do not rely on a traditional web server. Joomla! and WordPress dominate the web and are continuously targeted by unscrupulous hackers. If you're currently using one take a look in your log file to see the spurious requests trying to steal data (see image). For the vast majority of personal blogs or corporate marketing and communication websites it is secure by design.
