alt Hacker NewsJust by being written in JS/TS and using node I suppose keeping it running is a task of its own (or keep a node_modules folder of 500MB) - compared to a hugo binary that will most probably work on any linux or mac for the next 10 years.
(I see what you're getting at but Astro has to be _the worst_ example. I have migrated off hugo to my own SSG but I don't hate it)
Ah, makes sense, good points! I keep focusing so much on lightweight for the end user out of the box, and Astro still has been rather "lightweight" serverside for me (but good point how for a small device, a bloaty node_modules could be a pain point), though I also haven't used any large-scale deployments. Thanks for the reply! Are you rolling your own SSG now?
