Use Next.js Static Site Generation with Cosmic
summary
Builds a small blog that fetches content at build time using Next.js getStaticProps and precomputes routes with getStaticPaths, reads posts from Cosmic CMS, and deploys the static site so edits trigger rebuilds via webhooks. The demo shows local development, draft preview considerations, and a full Git→deploy flow that successfully publishes new posts after a webhook-triggered build, illustrating when SSG is appropriate versus server rendering.
