Is there any static site generator that supports incremental builds?

Question

I want to build a static site with a headless CMS back-end, where the build process will happen only a few pages at a time (whenever the user saves a page in the CMS), but I'm not finding any SSG that will build partial sites, rather than rebuilding the entire site with each change.

The website front-end won't use any js framework like react/vue, if that's important.

Any ideas?

More and more SSG platforms are starting to support this. Here are a few popular ones:

• NextJs: https://nextjs.org/docs/basic-features/data-fetching/incremental-static-regeneration
