@ianfeather I'd love to kick this around. What might not have been practical a few years ago is getting more possible. But yeah 7 million pages is rather a lot!
@ianfeather This question has cropped up a of times today (surprise!) so I'll likely compile some thoughts and insights to share soon.
@ianfeather Good question & genuine consideration. I don't have data to share ATM (but imagine case studies will surface). @GoHugoIO is *lightning* fast. In dev it can also just regen the pages/templates in focus and there are techniques for handling big sites: https://www.smashingmagazine.com/2016/08/using-a-static-site-generator-at-scale-lessons-learned/
@ChrisFerdinandi Some good background in this post which echoes much of my thinking:

I'd also recommend. Exploring @GoHugoIO. It's a blazing fast SSG and fun to build with.
After that explore some of the growing oss ecosystem via: https://www.netlify.com/open-source/

@ChrisFerdinandi You'll probably already know loads about it. Much of it is not really new. But when you add in some modern tooling, automation and microservices... it can unlock all sorts of fun!
@jshez Yep.
In fact, it has a very configurable publishing workflow. In effect it is an authoring UI which manages your content in git. And it removes the need for authors to ever know about git or even have a Github account.
But behind the scenes it is git PRs and merges. I'm a fan!

So very excited to see this go live. Incredible work and vision from some extraordinarily talented people.

I love, and recognise, this sentiment from @smashingmag:
"In times when we fight all the craziness and narrow-mindedness around us, we need to remind ourselves how wonderful a vast majority of the web community actually is..."

First no-brainer decision of the day. Just subscribed to the new @smashingmag membership program. Bravo to the team for the vision in shifting focus from advertising to memberships to support this wonderful resource.

@daveaglick Wow. That's big. Even a lightening fast SSG like @GoHugoIO is only going to get you so far, I suspect. Perhaps a divide and conquer approach? Some useful thoughts on that here from @ddprrt – https://www.smashingmagazine.com/2016/08/using-a-static-site-generator-at-scale-lessons-learned/

@valuedstandards That's kind of you to say, David! And it certainly is worth a look if you have anything to host.
