Content has to come from somewhere. Operational complexity is increased, not decreased, since you are running a build server in addition to your CMS. The benefit is easier optimizations in the frontend.
- Cthulhu_ 7y agoBut you can outsource those (build server, CMS) to e.g. Netlify and Contentful. But if you don't want that, there's a billion alternatives; the CMS market is one of the most saturated ones out there.
- subpixel 7y agoI actually feel like Gatsby will be developing a CMS to round out their paid feature-set. I have zero-inside knowledge, just a hunch that to get customers to pay up handsomely, the product needs a deeper "fit" in the publishing pipeline.
- bmelton 7y agoContent can come from text files. Operational complexity ought to be neutral (or even negative) if that content compilation step replaces your CI pipeline.
- lotyrin 7y agoYeah, but you're only running your build server some of the time (which is favorable in this era of by-the-second pricing) and you're running it inside a private network where nobody can try to infiltrate it 24/7 for no good reason.
