Yes. But they don't know it. They just know that their site is faster than their competitors.

I've got a smallish piece of JS that gives the client a WYSIWYG editor, which speaks to Firebase.

When Firebase gets an update, it triggers a rebuild.

Best of both worlds.

That's very interesting. Is any of this code open-source?

The Firebase part?

I'm afraid not, but mostly because it's both simple, and fairly reliant on architecture.

Basically the process is:

Firebase authentication -> Content editable editor -> Firebase database update -> GitLab CI -> Pandoc & bash to update static site to latest Firebase -> Deploy to website
