In our latest video with Birkir, he and Sadek discuss how Ueno chose their framework and why they went with Gatsby. Choosing Gatsby and staying React-based allows for a component-based approach that makes it easy for projects to be divided whilst still allowing developers to easily collaborate and work independently. Their preference for a component-based approach is one of the main reasons that they like using Prismic as a CMS.

In the first video from our series with Birkir Gudjonsson, he and Sadek discuss what his role as Tech Director at Ueno New York actually entails and how Ueno structures and plans its work.

In the final episode from our What is Severless series, Guillermo from Zeit explains how using Severless can help you to build a fast website. Integrate with any framework, mix static and dynamic, and deploy everything at once.

React has became one of the most used frameworks in the Javascript community. For beginners, learning React can seem overwhelming as it involves trying to navigate a world of libraries, plugins, dev tools, new features. But don't stress. To help you get started, Kitze joined us in the Prismic studios to share his most useful tips for beginners.

In this episode from the Serverless series, Guillermo and Sadek discuss the Serverless developer experience. Guillermo explains how using Severless can improve the developer experience in a number of ways - including through instant deployments, reduced cost, easy rollbacks, and better collaboration.

In Episode 3 from our Serverless series, Sadek and Guillermo discuss how Serverless allows you to deploy applications globally by having smart/application-aware CDNs.

New React frameworks are appearing constantly, so often in fact, that keeping up with all of the latest options takes a lot of work. Next.js and Gatsby are two of the most popular, particularly with Prismic users, so we invited We Bos to the studio to talk to Sadek about how each of them works, their ecosystems, and how they are different when it comes to rendering, data management, routing, and deployment.

In Episode 2 from our Serverless series, Sadek, from Prismic, and Guillermo, from Zeit, discuss how Serverless allows you to scale your application both when you experience peaks of traffic and when you only have a few people coming to your app.

A lot of developers choose React as a framework for their web applications. Most will need a Headless CMS (like Prismic) to be able to edit and publish new content.

This is a transcript from the second episode in our series on how to choose your tech stack. In this episode, Sadek and Nouha discuss how to choose your framework and look into the advantages of some of the most popular and commonly used frameworks.

This is a transcript of a conversation between Guillermo Raugh, CEO of ZEIT, and Sadek, CEO of Prismic, about Serverless: what does it mean from a developer's point of view, how Serverless functions work, and how to manage the questions of state and startup time.

We know, we know, the internet loves Gatsby. The past 18 months have seen Gatsby become a developer favorite, with its market share increasing by over 7000% in the past 5 months alone.

Not sure what the best build for your website is? Don't worry, you're not alone. Navigating the world of frameworks, technologies, and languages out there is not easy - even for experts - and each new build has new requirements. How to choose your tech stack is a question that we get a lot, so Nouha and Sadek decided to sit down in the Prismic Studio and share tips and advice on how to make your decisions.

Here's a transcript of a video from our interview with Gary Meehan (front-end developer at Distilled SCH). In this video, Gary talks to Gabe from Prismic about how Distilled SCH manages their tech stack.

This is a transcript of an (extremely technical but nonetheless interesting) conversation about Gatsby, Next.js, speed, SEO, caching, and other things between Sadek (the CEO of Prismic) and Gabe (a core engineer – at Prismic, too). Watch the video, or scan through the highlights below, or read the entire thing – or do none of these things. Do as you please.

SEO has become one of the most crucial points on the Internet to get a good ranking on Google and offer visibility to your website. If you have ever wondered how to stick with React for your web application without the lack of SEO and poor latency on the first load, you should take a look at what is coming Next.

It's hard to choose a JavaScript framework – because there's too many of them, and because the differences are not immediately obvious. If you agree that productivity ("how fast can I get things done") and performance ("how fast will my website be") are the most important criteria, let me show why Vue.js is a very solid framework for building websites and single-page applications.

Editor's note: This is a guest post by Gary Meehan, a front-end developer at Distilled SCH.

When you build a website or an app you may want to be informed whenever you update your content. This is good for sending notifications, trigger a publication in social media, invalidate your cache, etc.

As you may already know, Facebook released last March, a new programming language for the HipHop Virtual Machine named Hack. Hack is what Typescript is for Javascript: a superset of a primary language, PHP. What does it mean ? It means that PHP is Hack compliant and Hack brings some new features to PHP. This results in most of the existing PHP codebase remaining usable in Hack.

At prismic.io, one of our goals is to provide a developer friendly platform enabling you to make the best out of your content, be it in the way you present it, optimise it or how you choose to deliver it. This is why we provide a very advanced API design, with very nice querying and caching characteristics.

In a previous article, Rudy explained how to build a website with Content Management using client-side JavaScript and prismic.io. He introduced a JavaScript micro-framework which separates content queries from the presentation templates.

For front-end developers out there who master the art of front-end technologies (including HTML5, JavaScript and CSS), manageable content used to impose some kind of a brick wall that stops the fun. It used to mean learning a back-end technology which is not trivial for some, and even not necessarily interesting for others.

I often hear a lot of developers regretting that they often have to make a choice between either being able to manage content, or using cool front-end tools designed to make their lives easier, such as Bootstrap. It does feel intriguing to me that this kind of constraint takes so long to be overcome, and that content is often a barrier to entry against the most relevant front-end tools.

A prismic.io content repository comes with a REST API from which your Rails app can query your content, and a writing-room where you can edit and manage your content.
