Frontend
Static Site Generation
Also written as SSG, JAMstack
Generating a site's HTML pages ahead of time at build time, rather than on each request (SSR) or entirely in the browser (SPA) — fast to serve, common for blogs, docs, and marketing sites.
Think of it like
Like printing a batch of menus in advance versus writing tomorrow's specials by hand every time a customer sits down.
Junior or senior?
Junior sounds like
Statically generates everything, including content that changes constantly.
Senior sounds like
Can explain where SSG broke down for them and what they used instead for those parts.
Ask them
“What kind of content did you statically generate, and what did you do for the parts that couldn't be pre-built?”
