The big difference to WordPress is that the blog pages aren't generated on each request nor do they need to be cached for better performance - they are static, so they are always ready to go (and render pretty fast on the client device).
Whenever an article is added or changed, the entire blog site is re-built and re-deployed at the touch of a button.
Looking to expand knowledge in C, C++, Python, SQL , learn more languages and technologies and learn about Cybersecurity and Network Security. I am not good at Java to be very clear.
@weeksling@Netlify the idea is that it is entirely git/markdown based, which will probably outlast anything we do. you can port that anywhere and eject whenever. if anything, @NetlifyCMS has the least vendor lock-in compared to any other CMS. ofc best way to avoid vendor lockin is have no vendors

I understand that WordPress is ubiquitous and is a "batteries included" solution. That said ultimately the type of work that needs to be invested depends entirely on the degree and detail of the type of customizations that you will need to make. The barrier to entry is likely quite low.
It's just that you are specifically looking for a blogging solution and I have come across plenty of testimonials of people satisfied with their choice to move their blog off of WordPress to an SSG site (e.g. less ongoing maintenance). The benefit of Eleventy is that you personally can still just work in HTML (through any number of templating languages), CSS and JavaScript while the CMS and deployment portion can be handled by Netlify. It's always about tradeoffs.

Netlify CMS includes an admin page for authoring.
Together with an SSG like Eleventy this can be used to build a blog as a static web site from the articles stored within the CMS.
Features like comments can also be added.

Does Netlify allow to transfer ownership of the CMS to a client without hosting on Netlify?
The concern about vendor lock-in is understandable.

Good luck with whatever path you choose.
Thanks for the insight
