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

    Static site generator that supports Markdown and reST syntax. Powered by Python.

  • I use Pelican (https://getpelican.com/) for my blog, which works decently for me. It is a static site generator written in Python.

    But you probably won't learn much Python by using it (or Rust when using a generator written in it) since you probably won't need to change anything in it.

    Learn you some CUE for a great good!

  • If you are more focused on the devops part, and not implementing a static site generator, then go with Python. For our static sites we use Hugo + GH Actions + Kubernetes (since we have a cluster anyway). There is not really any code involved here (example: https://github.com/hofstadter-io/cuetorials.com)

    I'm personally interested to try https://docs.dagger.io/sdk/python/ for something. I used the CUE sdk, but it is effectively deprecated at this point. I use a mix of base, make, python, and CUE fro most devops / devex stuff now. Dagger makes it so local & CI stuff runs the same.
