When Jekyll rebuilt on my web server, once a day my server would be unavailable for a period of time, from 30 min to multiple hours. Now I have turned off Jekyll because my entire site has been replaced with it’s new dynamic rendering engine my server hasn’t become unavailable once 🙌 su... eddiehinkle.com

@EddieHinkle say what now? Jekyll has a dynamic rendering engine? Does it also do static in the background? I don't see anything about this on their site...

@EddieHinkle oh cool! Yeah, a dynamic server would serve you better if your jekyll install has gotten too big. There needs to be an option in jekyll to not build older posts. What nodejs server are you using?

@nitinkhanna yep, I definitely stretched Jekyll WAY further than it needed to be. I also had too many customized post listing pages which added to the build times. I’m actually running a custom node.js server that uses Express.

@EddieHinkle I hear ya. I got my linkblog lock stock from @jthingelstad and his 8000 posts were taking a long time to build too. I have the customized posts problem with my wordpress install - one reason I'd hate to move from WP if I ever have to!

A custom server? That's quite a bit of work! Does it serve everything you wanted it to?

@nitinkhanna There are still a handful of things I want to do but it does a lot that I want!
