The author may be conflating rendering and content management.

There's been a huge push in the past few years for "headless CMS": content is managed entirely separately from the actual website or app where it's leveraged.

In this specific case, YAML frontmatter MDX along with Next.js, Gatsby or similar would have done the trick.

Shameless plug: if you want to focus on managing content rather than juggling YAML and git, I'm building Pages CMS [1]. It adds a user friendly interface on top of GitHub when dealing with flat files.
