Then, it should rebuild every time an user submits a new post? I guess that you could somehow do it incrementally, but wouldn't it be a huge bottleneck? Thanks!

No, you can still use fetch calls and other dynamic client-side code from a JAMStack app, so you don't rebuild. But this is why I say large applications are better rendered server-side though—you really shouldn't have a static site or SPA that is trying to act like a really dynamic application with a ton of client-side fetch calls.

That posts wouldn't get SEO and basically all the benefits of being static are also lost. I get it now, thanks!
