Summary

Static web architecture is an efficient solution for many lightweight web applications such as blogs and documentation repositories. In this architecture, pages are generated and pre-rendered at build time from markup files and cached in a content delivery network (CDN) for fast delivery. This reduces the need for server management and enables quick page load times. However, monitoring the health and performance of static web apps presents some challenges due to reliance on CDNs and limited options for frontend tracking. Key metrics and data should be collected to optimize caching and delivery from the CDN, monitor the build-to-deploy cycle, and maintain visibility into infrastructure dependencies.
