Thank you for the article! I'm new to static site generators and the Jamstack, so these articles are very helpful as I do my research. My goal is to find an alternative to traditional CMS's using static site generators and headless CMS's.

Is it possible to run this in the cloud and automatically build and deploy when content changes in Netlify CMS? So far in my research I have only seen examples of running Gridsome locally and manually running the build process. If I could run it in the cloud and automatically build on content changes that would be closer to what I'm looking for. Thanks!

Really appreciate those kind words.

I am also very obsessed with static site generator that I literally started a podcast for it, it's called Static Site

There are many static site generator out there and as I am aware of NetlifyCMS does work with bunch of them.

Yeah, sure you can deploy your site anywhere you want, checkout the screenshot below.

How gridsome works

As you can see Gridsome just output static files like: HTML, CSS, JS and then you can host those static files anywhere you want.

With Netlify you get few additional feature where you don't have to deploy manually, if you want to host your site on cloud you have add pass it thought some CI for auto-deployment.

Hope, this clears your question. :)
