Using a static site generator at scale

    Another vote for Hugo. I had a static site that I use to run that hosted all of the git documentation[1]. After bootstrapping the site had over 24,000 pages which finished compiling on my iMac in under a minute. Jekyll was so bad that it ran for a day before I killed the job because it never finished.

      Whoa. Great to hear it can churn through 24,000 pages without an issue. I wonder if there’s a way to get it to do partial builds, too? Not that it matters when it’s so quick, but it could be handy for some projects.

      Hugo Server does partial updates… I wonder if there’s a way to hook into that?
