Blaze is a new Git-based hybrid CMS and PaaS that allows users to: 1. Create headless CMS projects that expose data via REST and GraphQL APIs. 2. Programmatically add, update, and delete content via these APIs. 3. Generate forms using a GUI and process submissions with Serverless functions. 4. Attach Serverless functions to content create/update/delete hooks. 5. Deploy projects to external PaaS providers like Netlify, GitHub, and CDNs. The presentation demonstrated creating a Blaze project, registering for early beta access, and the features planned for the early beta release.

13. JavaScript
Any dynamic programming during the request/response cycle is handled by JavaScript, running entirely
on the client. This could be any frontend framework, library, or even vanilla JavaScript.
APIs
All server-side processes or database actions are abstracted into reusable APIs, accessed over HTTPS
with JavaScript. These can be custom-built or leverage third-party services.
Markup
Templated markup should be prebuilt at deploy time, usually using a site generator for content
sites, or a build tool for web apps.
