ChatGPT, a variant of the popular GPT-3 language model, is all the rage these days. People everywhere creates videos about it or blog about it. It's changing our world. And we understand why! ChatGPT is totally awesome for producing all kinds of text and answers and that includes code!

By providing ChatGPT with examples of codehooks.io backend code, we will in this blog post show you how you can use ChatGPT to produce codehooks JavaScript backend code that is both functionally correct, easy to understand and instantly deployable. In the end, we will have a tool that can help us quickly prototype and build different kinds of backends with minimal effort. So, let's get started!

The JAMstack architecture is gaining popularity among frontend developers for its ability to provide a modern, fast, and secure web development experience.

In order to achieve better performance, developers have had to look at different ways and tools that together could increase speed and at the same time maintain a high level of security. Traditional and dynamic CMS-based websites have the disadvantage that data must be retrieved from a database or similar in order to deliver content on the websites. Using so-called reverse proxies and caches (i.e., "fast storage") such as Varnish and nginx, was one of the few options to increase performance. That is, until the JAMstack architecture (and frameworks) arrived.

Most web applications and mobile apps need a way for users to authenticate themselves so that the backend APIs and database can access data in the context of the user. One of the leading service providers within authentication services is Okta Auth0. They provide a very powerful platform and a ton of features for creating optimal user login experiences.

In this blogpost, we'll show how you can easily authenticate codehooks.io serverless API routes using only a few lines of code together with the public signing key/JWKS endpoint method of validating JWT tokens. Don't know what that is? Don't worry. Read on 👉. We have used a React single-page example from Auth0 here, but it should work just fine with their other examples as well (Angular, JavaScript, Vue).
