#3There was a discussion on the HTTP 203 show about the JAM stack as well, which talks relatively quickly and briefly about concerns when deciding whether or not to implement a JAM stack vs other architectures. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QXsWaA3HTHA

#4When did "deploy" become a noun? I always considered it only as verb. Can someone enlighten me?

It didn't. They are shortening "deployment" to "deploy" for unknown reasons when they say: "Atomic deploys -
Each deploy is a full snapshot of the site"
Not that weird though. We've, for example, turned "build" into a noun.

I can think of other -ment words that get shortened like that in just some online games I've played: "I need to change my equip[ment]", "my invest[ment] made money", "who's your replace[ment]?", "which adjust[ment] do you have on your rig?", etc.

Perhaps, ahem... "buildment"?
But no, apparently "build" has been screwed up since the 1660s[1].

You are missing something. Your content is dynamic but the html markup is generated ahead of time and served from CDN. The difference to static site is that your content lives in a CMS server + APIs and is not embedded in your codebase. Your codebase contains just the layout and components etc. without content. You can use all modern methods and frameworks such as React, but the final website is just html.
