This is a great question. I am too searching for answers.

  1. Surgical builds (yet in ideation phase) would solve the problem, as I plan to trigger webhooks on publish.
  2. Hybrid content rendering, add client side Vue components rendered directly via api data on page load.

I read a lot more into the build stage of Gridsome since I posted this and saw that they have slotted adding incremental builds to their roadmap which would greatly reduce build times across the board by making heavier use of the build cache. Seems like that’s a really difficult problem to solve. Next.js on the React side seems to be the only SSG that’s implemented it out so far, making it arguably the only massively scalable JS SSG solution right now.

Although, Nuxt.js seems to be nearing an implementation which I assume may influence the speed at which Gridsome also rolls out an own implementation of their own. That’ll be a game changer for SSG with Vue
