How much is language, how much is frameworks, how much is architecture, and how much is a different way to think about Websites/Content/CMS?Topic 4 - So we have this website content distributed out to the CDN, how to 3rd-party APIs interact with the system (e.g. Stripe, Agolia, Twilio, AWS Lambda, etc.)?Topic 5 - CDN’s just used to serve content, and now they are running code at the edge. How do those interactions work? Topic 6 - You recently wrote that we might be hitting an inflection point for Websites/CMS’.
