Generating HTML pages at build time for static site delivery.

## [Decap CMS brings content editing into a Git workflow](<https://sebastien.rigaux.be/en/tech-watch/links/decap-cms-brings-content-editing-into-a-git-workflow>)

Decap CMS adds an editorial interface to static sites while keeping content in the Git repository. Teams can manage drafts, reviews, and publishing with version history and a live preview that supports non-technical contributors.

Its declarative setup lives in a `config.yml` file for defining collections, fields, and workflows, while custom widgets extend the editor. For teams needing centralized access or relief from Git API limits, Decap Turbo adds features including hosted authentication and a database proxy.

## [Astro 7.4 adds build timings and parallel prerendering](<https://sebastien.rigaux.be/en/tech-watch/links/astro-74-adds-build-timings-and-parallel-prerendering>)

Astro 7.4 introduces `astro build --timings`, breaking down time spent rendering pages, running Vite plugins, processing Markdown, and transforming images. The release example shows how the report exposed sequential network requests and helped cut generation time for blog pages.

The release also separates image services for build and runtime, and adds `notFound()` for manually composed entrypoints. Parallel prerendering and custom redirect pages remain **experimental**; the former can increase memory use. One upgrade requirement to check: Astro now requires Node.js 22.22.0 or later.
