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...

@nitinkhanna oh nope. My site was powered by Jekyll but I switched to a Node.js server.

@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!
