Oh this is fun. I'm in the process of building something similar, but I'm splitting it into two parts: the first part is a static site generator and the second is a CGI that implements the micropub spec, which can run the static site generator when it receives new content.

What makes you choose CGI as the language of choice? Just curious.
CGI is serverless without all the cloud-specific tooling.

CGI scripts can work locally, they can work on traditional shared hosts that cost peanuts to use, they even work on AWS Lambda.

What's not to like?
