The best stack is the one you can still understand six months later. For ByteBaseX, that meant starting with static HTML, adding content only when it was needed, and choosing tools that stay out of the way.

Static first

Astro renders every public page at build time. That gives us fast loading, predictable hosting, and almost nothing to maintain. The few interactive pieces, like the header and search, are small and self-contained.

Content with Keystatic

Keystatic gives the site a friendly editing interface without turning the repository into a hosted database. Posts and pages are plain files, so content stays portable and every change can be reviewed like code.

The result is a site that is easy to deploy, easy to back up, and easy to change. That is usually the right kind of boring.
