Do you need to run next build for every new blog post?

[Malthehave]

Hello!

This has been on my mind for some time now.
I'm wondering if you have to build your site again for each blog post.

Let's say I have a headless CMS where I publish some blogs posts from time to time. Do I then need to run next build everytime I publish a new post?

I took the tutorial from https://nextjs.org/learn/basics/. And the getStaticProps function seems to only run at build time. How would it then be possible to read the posts that I publish in the future?

I guess I'm missing something here. Would love to hear your feedback!

You may be looking for fallback behavior:

That does sound like the thing I need yes.
In terms of the blog scenario, would using a fallback be the preferred method?

Yup! This is what we use on Vercel's blog and exactly what we built it for.

Sweet! Thanks for clearing that up for me :)
