Yeah, that's SSR with extra steps 😀 You can just set up your CDN to cache pages for a long time, and then invalidate specific pages that you've changed by notifying the CDN (with Cloudfront this is pretty easy to do).
Part of my problem is that I don't want to wait until a page is visited to regenerate it (I assume that if I just invalidate the page then this is what would happen). I suppose that what I could do is just hit the page url after invalidating to trigger a rebuild. But it feels hacky, not using the tool (SSR+CDN cache) for the purpose it was made for.
@matthew how is that different from what they call Incremental Static Regeneration at NextJS?
