Well, taoofmac.com has 20+ years, 9000-odd pieces of content (that translate into 47.000 blob storage items), multiple navigation constructs (archives, backlinks - it’s a wiki - and even a 3D sitemap), and an incremental build for a post that links to 5-6 others (and resizes images, updates the home page, archives, linked page footers and backlinks) takes ~10s, including uploading the results (and an updated SQLite database) to Azure.
I use SQLite FTS for full-text search (it’s the only non-static endpoint).
A full site re-render on a Raspberry Pi takes 5 minutes, and a full reindexing - FTS plus linkmap - plus publishing around 10, but I only do that yearly or when I update things like CSS, layout, etc.
It all runs off a Git hook, uses SQLite to hold all the FTS, base HTML and metadata, and is as asynchronous as can be (including my own asyncio blob upload library). Costs me effectively zero.
