Jamie Bradley (@jamiebradley234) - What the JAMstack?
In this talk I will cover the basics of JAMstack i.e. what it is, why it's becoming so popular and also some of the potential drawbacks with using JAMstack.

I'll then follow up with a short demonstration of a project using Gatsby and showcase how this fits into the JAMstack and why it is proving to be a success. This may be the kick you need to start a blog in 2019!

Jordan Finneran (@JordanFinners) - Serverless Single Page Applications
There is a lot of hype around serverless at the moment, I will share my real world experience with a serverless single page application. Covering why you may or may not want to consider going serverless. How I found migrating from a typical Express JS set up to serverless and if the demo gods are with me, demo a real world example.
