summary

Explains what static site generators are (examples implied like nanoc), contrasts them with database-backed CMSes by naming problems such as deployment complexity, security and performance, and describes how generators produce static HTML/assets that avoid those issues. Covers the technical challenges involved in implementing a static site generator, based on real-world experience building large sites with them.
