I think 800+ million Wordpress blogs are not planning to shut down in 2023 after reading GP's comment.

This doesn't provide a counterpoint to the original comment's point.

IMHO, it's true that a static site generator should be the way to go in 2023, instead of using a web framework with a db.

I am personally running a hugo blog, on netlify, with netlify CMS. I have 0 costs, great performances, everything needed out of the box. What else to ask for ?

Does your blog support comments?

Also, for a company blog, an SSG likely means a requirement to know Git, which could be inconvenient.

In my blog, comments are not supported, and it would be easy to add if I developed my own blog with Django. But I feel that this single feature does not overweight the simplicity and velocity I have with such setup.

If you really need comments in your blog when using Hugo, you can still integrate them with Disqus https://gohugo.io/content-management/comments/

In regards to the requirement to know Git: It is just necessary in the setup phase, the blog posts creation and edition are controlled through Netlify CMS for me.

Interesting, thank you for introducing me to Netlify CMS, didn't know about it.

I don't think there are 800+ million WordPress blogs. WordPress is used for lots and lots of websites that are not blogs at all.

Thank you, I stand corrected, 800M+ WordPress installations.
