On: Building a static serverless website using S3 and CloudFront

[svnpenn]

I see you are using Hugo 0.62.1

FYI starting with 0.63.0 the speed has about doubled:

Is the speed it's taking to building the static site usually a problem? I don't recall ever waiting for it to be done. Maybe my site is too minimal to see a difference (https://annoying.technology).

I have compile times of >30 seconds with Jekyll blog [1,2]. This is an issue. It adds a lot of friction to the edit/preview loop.

BTW: I just moved it to Netlify since reading this thread. Took me ~5 minutes.

FWIW I'm getting a "certificate does not match *.netlify.com" SSL error on your site.

No, circle goes from clean state to npm install, scss compile, drags content from contentful and then runs the Hugo build and upload to S3 in under 30 seconds for our site. Most of the time is npm flaffing about.
