JAMstack vs. WordPress: Which Is the Future of Web Architecture?

JAMStack seems to become more and more one of these terms without a clear definition:

> “From my perspective,” he said, “[it’s] a JAMstack website if it uses one of those modern components — like maybe it uses Hugo as a static site generator, [or] maybe it uses Contentful to manage the content, or maybe it uses Netlify to get deployed.”

At least to me, that reads a lot more open than what I got from the initial proposals of the term. Apparently a Github Pages blog is "JAMStack" now...

You’d be right! GitHub Pages sites do fall under the remit of Jamstack, but not ticking every single box. GitHub Pages runs on Jekyll, one of the most long-standing static site generators in the ecosystem. If you’re wanting to check more of those boxes, such as feeding content in from an API, you’re welcome to spin up a Jekyll site right here with a few clicks: https://jamstack.new/jekyll

That makes the term pretty much meaningless, or purely a marketing play.
