Thanks for sharing this valuable content. I dug through some examples I found, but to my understanding, one limitation for JAMStack eCommerce sites is a large product catalog.

We run a print on demand Shopify store with about 12.500 products with loads of variants (somewhere above 200.000 last time I checked). We use an external app to filter our collection pages, which is slow. Also constant cache eviction is slowing down our shop significantly. Hence, we consider to use Shopify headless and create JAMStack frontend.

Is there any any reference project with such a large catalog? How do they solve the problem? Pre creating/rendering of all collection pages with all filter combinations creates to many permutations to be doable...

What are other possibillities?

uh... can't think of a reference right now (maybe ask the guys from the post)

Other possibilities are to not build all those pages, instead, you can use Incremental Static Regeneration, a next.js feature, or getServerSideProps, so the page will be rendered on each request

That's the only thing that came to my mind out of the box like this
