Nice post Diego!

The use of a CDN is a good aspect to call out and it can be a somewhat intimidating prospect. There is a lot of complexity involved in correctly configuring a CDN. Particularly if your site will change regularly (code, content, design, assets).

It's just that as a developer you are protected from needing to configure it manually or worry about it. (Although you have quite a bit of control should you choose to explore that)

polite disclaimer: I work at Netlify, so while you weren't paid by Netlify for your kind comments, people might just expect it from me. :)

Thank you for comment and continue with the good work. :-D

Nice post!
I have readed about JAMStack sites but i have a question.
I want to build a blog with Nuxt (static), when the admin user post a blog I have to use a webhook to build again the frontend for getting new changes in my database. Am I correct? What if I have two admin posting blog? Do I have 2 webhooks running same?
Sorry but I am new in JAMStack. TY!
