Static Site Generator (SSG) Visions, Roadmaps, and Trajectories: What to Watch in 2023

This page summarizes the projects mentioned and recommended in the original post on dev.to

Our great sponsors
  • WorkOS - The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS
  • InfluxDB - Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale
  • SaaSHub - Software Alternatives and Reviews
  • astro

    The web framework for content-driven websites. ⭐️ Star to support our work!

  • With Astro 2.0.0 on the horizon — currently scheduled for a January 24th release — we’ll see the following changes (from the beta release changelog):

  • eleventy 🕚⚡️

    A simpler site generator. Transforms a directory of templates (of varying types) into HTML.

  • Phew! There’s more over at the beta release changelog, but with the above changes it’s clear that the Eleventy team is busier than ever, and the SSG will remain a forerunner in the field over 2023.

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.

  • Jekyll

    :globe_with_meridians: Jekyll is a blog-aware static site generator in Ruby

  • Jekyll, too, is likely to be gearing up for a major version release, based on the Jekyll version 5.0 Roadmap document published in October last year. For the thousands upon thousands of sites relying on Jekyll this will be welcome news, and may help to bring devs back to the SSG with which so many of us began building our static sites.

  • semver

    Semantic Versioning Specification

  • 2023 promises a gentler transition to Nuxt 4, with a consistent release cycle (following semver), patch releases roughly weekly and minor releases roughly monthly. Overall, we should see fewer, if any, breaking changes.
