Why recommend lock-in vendors when there are better options in between? There was no mention of Heroku which is easy and scalable.

Hugo is wonderful, until a deployment bug or misconfiguration exposes all of your server settings in a page that should be serving a 404 instead. Wordpress, Hugo and others also get constant attacks from hackers who can exploit each bug found on thousands of sites all at once.

Go has fantastic server examples and plenty of starter templates you can use to build your own server, and deploy to Heroku and scale to millions of users far cheaper in engineering and financial terms.




Uh, I think you are confused about Hugo unless I'm missing something.

It's a static site generator and is nothing like Wordpress. I've run Hugo sites behind nginx, caddy, and netlify with nary a problem.


Heroku is on its knees
