Develop how best to serve up and manage news content type about alpha HOT 4 CLOSED

Gatsby is an example of the best way to approach this: use static site generation with document regeneration and publication triggered on content updates.

Gatsby falls short of our performance goals though. Even if you follow all their best practices and do react server side rendering gatsby delivers a ton of client side js to support client side rehydration which radically slows down time to interactive. An audit of the official gatsbyjs blog shows this issue, first contentful paint is not too bad but time to interactive is very slow.

Using a static site generator that doesn't include such a heavyweight client side framework will solve this problem, https://www.11ty.dev/ is a good example of static site generation that doesn't require client side framework delivery
