The problem
Four kinds of content — case studies, technical articles, short news, and downloadable products — with an automation pipeline publishing into the same repository, on a hosting budget of nothing.
The approach
Next.js on Cloudflare Workers, fully prerendered. Content is MDX validated per file, so a malformed automated commit quarantines one entry instead of failing the deploy. Binaries live in R2, which has no egress fees, making download volume a non-issue.
The outcome
Zero recurring hosting cost, sub-second page loads from prerendered HTML, and a publishing path that a workflow tool can drive without a CMS.
