1 The Jamstack and Hugo

If you have been associated with websites recently or have friends in similar situations, you must know how much work is involved in maintaining a website. It needs DevOps engineers, system administrators, and database architects to keep a website running on the internet. It is a full-time job for an entire team, not just an individual. The upkeep of content is so time-consuming that the creators move at an unprecedented rate to managed hosting services like WordPress.com or even to give away their content to platforms like Medium or Facebook.
