Azure recently launched a service meant for JAMStack called Static Web Apps in Preview! It provides tight integration with Functions and since you already have credits lying around, it would be great once it comes out fully and becomes chargeable.

I did notice you mention switching to Next.js but if Gatsby is your thing, Gatsby Builds has insanely fast build times as outlined here willit.build/

As for SSG, I am not sure if I need incremental builds...

I usually posting my content right on GitHub repo. But Gatsby build is faster with CMS than plain markdown.

True, they have outlined the reason for that in their FAQs willit.build/faq#markdown-mdx-builds I'm in a comparable situation where my blog posts are stored in MDX files too, but I have been happy with the build times until now, as they are still significantly faster than a GitHub action I have configured for my repo.
